I keep my snakes in fairly simple set-ups now, it's easier to clean + they don't need quite that much humidity. I do appreciate nicely-done terrariums tho, kepp the pics coming! Yours are pretty, love the flowers.

Ive thought about keeping darts many times. There are many different exquisite species available.
I find myself browsing on this website every now and then.

There are, or at least used to be, some really nice terrariums or vivariums kept by Canreefers. I know Sean/Tarolisol has some darts, maybe he'll see this and post some new pics.

I was tempted to try darts at some point but ... well, I'm just far too much leveraged into SW right now. Maybe one day though.

I'm kind of thinking though that, as much as I like the looks of those Exoterra's, I probably wouldn't keep darts in one without at least mods first maybe. I kept some salamanders in an Exoterra and the CRICKETS I fed them could escape the Exoterra. So pinheads and fruit flies are a sure thing to expect to find crawling and/or flying around all over the place. The crickets drive me crazy, the novelty of my basement sounding like a rainforest at night wears thin after a few weeks..

Anyhow, those are some great looking terrariums. Looks like maybe a couple pleurothallids/masdevallias in there ... nice. Whatcha using for lighting? Are you just misting manually or do you have a misting kit?

Thats the main issue that stops me from pulling the trigger on this. My wife would not be happy if we had to hang flypaper from the ceiling throughout the house..
