    I use eco earth for substrate and delicups as enlosures. I'm sure you've seen some of the crap I put in my enclosures. Lol the dollar tree is great for fake greenery.

    Yeah I have a tons of those vials.

    Most people get pain pills or antihistamines. Others get very sick and some have heart problems. Chest cramps up, high fevers etc. :)

    Damon has my T sweatshop running again. Making all these new vials getting ready for FedEx !!! :D
    Over 650 holes have been made.

    So your little guys ship in habitats like that, or in the vial with paper towels and a plugged lid??


    And again, I'm sorry for the persistence, but are there specific things to or not to put in the tank, use for substrate, monitor humidity/temps etc?? I need all the specific details I can for Versicolors, or my parents will never go for it.

    The size thing is a big plus; I had no idea you kept them in something that small:P

    FedEx is coming my way Mike :)

    I don't ship them in their vial, paper towel burrow. Then you set it up.
    The versicolor need a higher humidity with lots of air flow. That's where people mess up. They try to keep it soaked it don't vent it enough.
    It's more of a feel for them. I don't use any type of humidity gauge or anything.

    Adult versicolor will do fine in a 5.5 gallon tank flipped.

    You can see the flipped tanks toward the middle. You can also use large plastic jars or whatever.

    Some coconut fiber, cork bark some plastic plants and you are set.

    How do you get to them rich?

    Also, have you figured out how to quote posts? Please lmk lol

    Yea meph, the dimensions of a 5.5 gallon tank are like 15x8x10. Thats all you'll ever need for it and you wont need that size for awhile. I've had my versi for months and hes molted once. He's still in a vial thats only about the size of a spice container.
