There are some very nice types out there that would make decent ground cover and their light needs tend to be low compared to many plants.<BR/><BR/>2) Give her more things to climb on ... either dead branches or live plants<BR/><BR/>3) As you have discovered, crickets are incredibly stupid creatures.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-48957990192517363802009-04-12T00:06:00.000-07:002009-04-12T00:06:00.000-07:00ahh nice!

You can get sheets of coco coir for the background that you can attach small plants like air ferns and mosses to.<BR/><BR/>Looks like fun. I've been "working" on building one for two years now. But never get past the cleaning the aquarium stage. :0)MrBrownThumbhttp://mrbrownthumb.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-62867445076260469072009-04-10T15:39:00.000-07:002009-04-10T15:39:00.000-07:00She IS cute!

Much cooler than that and they go sleep it off in the leaf litter. I'm sure they're more active in temps in the 90s, but that speeds up their metabolism too. She will probably live longer and need to eat less at room temperatures between 60 and 75.
