    Cool video. But why didn't u just cover the whole back in plexiglass?

      +B3_Water Exotics Tbh, mostly because of a laziness...it is a hustle to cut plexi and I had that small piece that only needed small trimming. :P

    I enjoy your videos so much as well as your music choices. I wish they were longer although I understand that involves a lot of work. The music you chose in this video is amazing. I have listened to it at least 10 times. Also the song from your dessert video.

  • @Dovietail
    @Dovietail 8 років тому

    I had the same question, especially for messy species, people who get earth tremors, or clumsy friends who might knock it off the wall! Could you drill enough discrete holes in the top and sides of frame to avoid having to drill the plexiglass? An unimpeded view would be even more stunning!

    • @TheDarkDen

    @stardustedcloud9 7 років тому +7

    I see you have a tub with various natural resources (Leaves, wood and sticks) are these ones you pick up outside or do you specifically buy them? I just ask as some sites recommend not bringing things from outside into the enclosure as you might be introducing disease and other small creatures into your enclosure without knowing. Is this true? If you do buy them where do you get them from?

    Beautiful enclosure for a Beautiful specie! Few questions,....
    1. What size do u recommend for smaller slings? (Less then 1 inch)
    2. A few of my babies are big time burrowers, I'm talking like NY underground subway routes lol. Would that work in one of these "frames"? Would i wanna go deeper down or wider with the frame coming out more in order to accommodate to their needs?
    3. Since all of mine are still a bit on the small side w/ my biggest being 1 3/4in. They are not always easy to feed & many times i have to dig out the dubia with tweezers cuz it managed to avoid being noticed & hides. I dig him out sp that i KNOW whether or not my baby ate. Should I continue to dig him out or just leave it be & trust my baby will get him eventually??
