[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 201903, member: 33266"] Because I live to disagree with [USER=3872]@octanejunkie[/USER] :p I would like to add my two cents. The Exo-Terra original background never bothered me (I have about 30 of them). Many of my Ts did indeed chew and dig on some. Some just to make some extra space or a more secured burrow, others lived behind it for a while until reaching a size not allowing them to anymore. It is true that crickets and dubias can also chew on it as well as hiding behind it, when it comes to superworms, they will actually feed of it!!!!! Sharing a few pictures, two of my P. smithi living behing the background, even as she has already set her enclosure (so it seems to be a preference). The third one is of my 9 inches T. blondi in a 24 inches exo-terra. For her I removed the original background and replaced it with a 2/3 inch thick bark flat, which is also an option ;) Cheers.[ATTACH type="full"]59703[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]59706[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]59704[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]59705[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
