    I knew it was only going to be a matter of time. I have the same thought process for displaying adult Rhacodactylus. I really enjoy making fake rockwalls for the R-Zilla Atriums. I plan on making a DIY on one when I get a chance. I have an empty 18x18x24 that I plan on housing 2-3 females in when they are larger.

    Just remember that size enclosure will be too big for a hatchling. I just start out with tubs until they are around 15 grams, at that point they can go into the adult cage of 20 gallons or more. I don't see a point in buying a hatchling sized display quality setup that will only last 6 months or so, they grow fast!

    Yea I will probably keep them in tubs till they are bigger. I have also read that its best to keep babies separated until they are bigger because they tend to drop each others tails. My plan is to keep a pair in there but I think I will start with one hope its a female and if I get lucky, good but if I dont I can always buy a known female later on.
