That's one beautiful setup! To the OP, your nugget is quite the looker.Originally Posted by EnutButter
Leaf litter allows them to feel more secure and at the same time, keeps the substrate fairly wet/humid. It may even allow for better microfauna growth in the future. Even though the coco-fiber does not stick to him/her at the moment, whenever you mist it may stick, again. Sometimes, PDF's get stressed having substrate on their skins. You'll see that they like to soak themselves in a small dish of water to keep clean. Afterall, their skins are a part of their breathing. Why make it that much more difficult for them?!
Another consideration is that tincs will tap their rear toes while feeding. This allows them cause tiny vibrations to allow the fruitflies/prey to move, thus making them more visible. They hunt by sight. It just makes it easier for them.
Here's a sample:
The coolest thing about tincs is that you dont need to worry about not seeing them. All of mine come up to the glass at feeding time.
