I recently bought a new terrarium to move my G.Pulchra in, the dimensions are 45*45*45 (Exo Terra). I'm going to use at least 10 cm of substrate so the height will be a maximum of 35 cm.
The terrarium is too tall for me to feel comfortable having it climbing the walls, so I want to set up the cage in a way that hinders it from climbing the walls. I'm going for a naturalistic looking terrarium (no live plants though) so I'm thinking that hanging plants would hinder/discourage climbing (he/she loves climbing during the evening/night). I was also thinking that having a thin stripe of water (simulating a water edge) along the front of the terrarium would be a nice hinder, as I obviously doesn't want to cover the front with plants or other stuff that would hinder the my view.
Have any of you guys had success with a setup that hinders/discourage the T from climbing the walls? I wouldn't mind the climbing if I knew it would be safe and wouldn't risk falling to its death, so any solutions who addresses that instead are also welcome.
Any thoughts about having a ''water edge'' at the front? Any experiences with it?
As this is my first shot at a more naturalistic terrarium any ideas, thoughts, pictures and experiences with your own setups are welcomed with open arms, as I haven't found any good videos of others setup (just keep in mind my main problem/question)
PS. does anyone have any good photos of the habitat they live in? I can't seem to find any pictures of them, showing where/how they live in the wild. It would really help me making a terrarium replicating its natural habitat. All I can currently rely on, is my distant knowledge of Brazil/Uruguay as a Norwegian :/
