So I rehomed my 8-9" T. Stirmi last night and wanted to share some pictures with you all. She was in a 10 gallon tank and it was just too cramped for her so I upgraded her to a more spacious 20 gallon long tank. I added her old substrate first, which is just top soil, as it has tons of dwarf white Isopods living in it. Then I added about a 4" layer of damp EcoEarth with the water squeezed out so the dirt can hold a fist shape without dripping if squeezed. Her hide is just two pieces of cork flats I hot glued together. I also added quite a bit of moss around the enclosure to help with some humidity as well as a fake plant for aesthetics/cover. I need to upgrade the water bowl to a more natural one but that's what I have until tomorrow! By the way, I also added in full size Isopods (rollypolly) that I've been breeding out from WC ones. Will these harm the dwarf white Isopods at all? I didn't think they would but I want to be certain. I hope you all enjoy, and I always love other keepers input!
She was very angry in the first pic. When I cupped her with the deli, she was hissing and sticking her butt up
