| it is tiny at the moment, probably only about 1/4 inch.... I have been told they like high humidity, high ventilation, apparently a very difficult species to keep alive.... well I like a challenge | |

| I have mine in a tall cube type thing.
I melted some holes with a soldering iron
I think it will look better with drilled holes.....it would be a more cleaner finish
Just take your vial and drill some holes along the sides.
Im not sure how many tho.
I guess it would depend on how big the enclosure is | |

| Yep, keep them at 80% humidity, and 80ºF. As for air with mine, all I did was put holes around the bottom and two layers around the top, where the T will be most of the time being arboreal. | |
