ive got my juvie in a 15gal glass enclosure. I'll be switching him to plastic or exoterra later becuase i hate this glass thing. i dont have it on its side because its not safe with my cats around. I use paper towels for substrate that i clean 1x a month or more often if its getting kinda icky. They do poop but since its colder here hes a little slower.
i have a few things for him to climb and hide in and fake vines for him to climb on. Eventually i want to get real plants for him.
