Preparing for a BCI

[Minkness]

Wow! She IS gorgeous!

What I'd do for a tank is to put a background around 3 sides then use duct tape over the screen lid (both sides so no sticky is exposed). I like to use patterned DT. They have a really nice camo colored one that looks really nice.

As for substrate...other's may disagree and are probably more knowledgeable about it than I am, but a mix of eco earth, coco husk, and reptibark should work nicely, however it's a b***** to clean, so what I do is lay down antibacterial shelving liner (the rubber stuff) first, then the substrate. That way on cleaning day, I just roll it all to the middle, pick it out, whipe the corners out, and put clean back in. =)

This gives you a nice frontal view that is still secure and holds in humidity better than 'just' a tank.

Hope this helps!
