I've just finishing setting up a new home for Webster my B. Smithi

I love these Exo Terra viv's, they look so good.

Any feedback would be appreciated Smile

Thats a very handsome smithi indeed Cool

They're pretty good those exo terra viv's are'nt they? Lots of people use them and they seem suitable for a wide variety of small animals. Very Happy

dont mean to sound critical,the viv looks great,but isnt that water dish a bit large in comparison to the hide size?, i dont know what size you red-knee is ,but i would advise against a water-bowl wider than the spiders leg-span,my own preference is for peat rather than vermiculite, but thats a personal thing, usually the spiders dont give a monkeys.
like i say i dont mean to be critical, and i agree the exo-terras are great vivs. Smile

I agree with you on that one Very Happy

Also when vermiculite is dry it can can absorb moisture from the air making the habitat of the spider extremely dry .... something worth thinking about. Idea

Thanks for your comments,

I think it is the hide that is too small really. The water dish is an ok size for my spider but I could do with re thinking the size of the hide Smile
