After being awake for 36 hours the cages are “done” I didn’t get a chance to get all the live plants just yet but at least I can sleep

I like the little teacup. It's like having a little afternoon tea party with him sipping tea.

Hi @JoXie411 - can't tell, do you have anything on the roof of the cage the zip ties wrap around? Like a stick or wooden dowel? If not, you may want to slide something in there just in case the screen slowly starts to tear from the weight/zip tie. That way the weight is more distributed and less chance it could pull through the screen.

Yes I was going to add one today. I was just so tired last night. The log in Larry’s cage is a lot heavier then the one in Imelda’s so I’m not as worried about she’s as I am about his. I have a smaller lighter log I might witch his out for

I hear ya! I have gone to bed at midnight every night this week because I stayed up too late taking care of bugs!

 

[JoXie411]

Yes my husband yelled at me at 1 am to go to sleep and stop playing with the cages. Once I was done he looked at them and said “Oo wow that’s actually beautiful” I still need to set up my misting system. That I’m not looking forward to

Lol my husband said last night “I wish I had 8 legs so you’d pay as much attention to me as you do the bugs.”

You could keep the one you have and then get a dual 48 inch with just daylight bulbs in it.... Or a single 48 inch with a daylight bulb.
