what viv does an adult h.spinifer require? Just one, I have a 12x8x8inch vivarium which is spare you see. Planning on heating with a red of blue bulb as its really awkward to attach mats to the side of it and still get good heat. I can get about 29c (it varies slightly with the air temp outside) in it with a 25watt blue bulb, so that should be sufficient me thinks. Also, would an adult be able to escape from a viv that size (using its tail to push up kind of thing), the lids going to be taped on, and the substrate only maybe an inch thick, any other precautions i should take?

Cheers

hi :)
might be ok for a small adult.. but it wont have much room to entertain you, so maybe its better for a baby or smaller species ;)

glad your exam went well, mine did too >>>msn

Also, how many moults does it take for a spinifer to mature? is it 6-7?
