[@rafaltulowiecki5891]

where do u put food . cold or hot side of a terrarium ?

[@MiLa-ek4si]

Rafal Tulowiecki i always put my food on the cool side because it helps keep the food from spoiling as fast

[@samanthakerr5790]

What do you have on the base of your terrarium? I have aspen bedding down but my title guy is getting so big now that he seems to just clear it as he walks through it

[@Silverbackboned]

Great 😀😀. Substrate you using Olbur and what plants are they?

[@campfirestorieslancashire6502]

Cheers mick!! I use compact soil bricks, most pet/reptile specialist shops sell them I get a triple pack from "onlinereptileshop.com" for about a tenner but it does last a while and is great for live plants as it's fertile for them to grow.. those plants are just dune grasses from Gordon riggs in Todmorden but really any plant shop will do as long as the plants haven't been sprayed with any pesticides they're good to use.. at least in my experience anyway.. give them a light spray every morning to keep the grass supple you don't want grass drying or it'll die.. hope this helps mick ☺☺
