Blattodea313 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Those must have coated a fortune! I actually got most of the terrariums when they were on sale at the various pet stores. The other supplies were expensive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Are the terrariums the exo Terra 36x18x18? I want to do that kind of terrarium with an Eco system of roaches, a smaller lizard like a day gecko or an anole some isopods Maybe a smaller frog?

Blattodea313 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 The male G. portentosa are in a two 24x18x12 terrariums. The G. lurida are in an 18x18x24, and the hermit crab setup is a 24x18x18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcep Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Looks great! Do you have any mold problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 No mold problem, all of my animals are clean for the time being, in fact the other day I got a heat mat because the smaller one that I have had for years hasn't been putting enough heat out in my opinion and they have bred much better! Thanks for asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njohns Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Do your roaches eat the plants at all?? I tried live plants, but I had too much of a problem with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Oh haha sorry didn't realize you were talking to the other guy sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Do your roaches eat the plants at all?? I tried live plants, but I had too much of a problem with that... Yes, sometimes when the hissers climb up on the background they like to chew on the plant with the disk shaped leaves. I haven't noticed it lately though. I would get tall plants since the roaches can't eat on them as easily as ground cover plants. It also helps to get light bulbs that help plants grow. That way, the plants can more easily grow back what got eaten off. Looks great! Do you have any mold problem? I haven't had any mold problems yet. I have had some problems with grain mites in the G. lurida setup though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Great little chunks of rainforest!! The question I'm going to contribute: Why did you combine Gyna and Hemiblabera? Not saying you shouldn't, just wondering why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying you shouldn't, just wondering why. I mainly combined the two species to give the vivarium a ecosystem/rainforest feeling to it. I also have isopods and springtails in the vivarium. The reason I combined these two species specifically was just a random pick, and the H. tenebricosa were cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tongue Flicker Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Just saw this thread. Great setups! Love what you have for hissers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
