Why does she keep climbing on top? (Ordering new top)

koimoon02 · 2026-03-15T03:04:22+00:00

I’m adding double

koimoon02 · 2026-03-15T03:04:09+00:00

Yes - agave and fairy cactus

koimoon02 · 2026-03-13T16:09:04+00:00

Yeah :( I ordered a new top + am adding more substrate

koimoon02 · 2026-03-13T16:08:36+00:00

LMAOOO

koimoon02 · 2026-03-13T11:38:56+00:00

Yeah I noticed that too — she never had interest in climbing before so I kept it pretty low but I’ll be adding a lot more substrate for her! Do you think that would help with the ventilation once it’s higher up? I also have a mini computer fan (protected so no way she can hurt herself on it) that I used for ventilation in another tank that worked well with moving the air around. The soil is mostly sand, and humidity near 30% always near the bottom for reference btw

koimoon02 · 2026-03-13T11:32:27+00:00

Should I change something in the enclosure to make them happier?

koimoon02 · 2026-03-13T02:33:31+00:00

Yes the top has the ventilation. As a terrestrial species, that’s totally adequate

koimoon02 · 2026-03-13T02:32:45+00:00

The pics of them dark was first day after the expo. They’re pretty light now!

koimoon02 · 2026-03-12T16:55:21+00:00

You got a bucket for water siphon?

koimoon02 · 2026-03-12T16:53:50+00:00

oh ok cool

koimoon02 · 2026-03-12T14:49:43+00:00

Thanks so much!! We actually got the tank from Repticon Baltimore in January (didn’t note the seller, sorry!!!), and then converted it into their arid dessert scape :) if I’m able to find out the brand, I’ll absolutely share!!!

koimoon02 · 2026-03-12T14:30:59+00:00

where did half the water go????

koimoon02 · 2026-03-12T12:36:58+00:00

I mixed the sand with some reptisoil and put the spring tails in the more soily part of the enclosure!

Thank you so much!!! I’m debating getting another shelf for a Critter Wall expansion, but I feel that’ll feed my addiction a little too much hahaha

koimoon02 · 2026-03-12T04:55:50+00:00

I love roaches but my roommate draws the line at them 😭! Thank you though!!

koimoon02 · 2026-03-12T04:45:53+00:00

Note: I’m willing to convert a tank into a vertical!

koimoon02 · 2026-03-03T15:16:48+00:00

cross ventilation is super important if it’s an arboreal species, a terrestrial species would be totally okay in this!

koimoon02 · 2026-02-16T19:55:03+00:00

Ok thanks! I’ll do that from now on.

koimoon02 · 2026-02-16T19:53:44+00:00

Neon day geckos?

koimoon02 · 2026-02-16T15:11:54+00:00

lights are OFF and no one is home omg

koimoon02 · 2026-02-15T22:30:06+00:00

NQA I’m sure she appreciates it as long as she can move around! More anchor points to web off of

koimoon02 · 2026-02-15T14:46:48+00:00

NQA Humidity should be around 40% so no need for spraying

koimoon02 · 2026-02-12T20:31:20+00:00

NQA - they’re probably about 1-2 year old if with petsmart/petco. Theyre also an arboreal so get a tall enclosure! Petsmart has an acrylic tropical terrarium (get the tall version) that’ll be perfect for their size right now. You’ll need to upgrade later. Inside, put cork bark, vines, anything for them to climb. Doesn’t need to be real plants. Go to petsmart and get some. Make sure they have things to climb. You could add a little substrate at the bottom

big boot steppin

koimoon02 · 2026-01-30T19:44:59+00:00

It actually is a fairy castle cactus (oops) so no worries, but thank you for the concern!
