This is my first attempt at a real enclosure.
This particular enclosure is housing a 3" G. pulchripes and is 11.7" x 7.6" x 8"
I did my best to mimic the grassland of the chaco region in Chile and South America.
Here I cut fake grass that I bought from Hobby Lobby to fit the enclosure and then hot glued it to the bottom. I also glued a small pice of cork bark to the side so it would not cave in on him/her.
I then filled the enclosure with ecoearth and packed it in. I tried to create a low spot which would be for the wet area, and then a dry area by the cave at a higher elevation. I also added some moss, some rocks, and a large water bowl.
I think it turned out okay for the first attempt. I have 8 other slings that in the next year will be needing an appropriately large enclosures where I can have some fun. I saw some awesome hanging vines today at Hobby Lobby that would be perfect for some of my arboreal Ts.
Here he/she is after I put him/her back in. I hope he/she will excavate and make it his/her own. Also I need help sexing it. To me it looks like a female. I posted a photo on the sexing area of the forum but no reply yet. If you could go over and take a look that would be great!! Thanks!!
More to come later! My next large rehouse will be a G. Rosea RCF. Plan on doing a nice little desert theme.
