[QUOTE="Synapze, post: 340165, member: 10818"] The sticks allow them to climb. If you place the sticks diagonally they can molt from an angle. I'd put sticks that reach almost to the top of the enclosure. The ventilation is not optional. This species tolerates 60-70% humidity, but without ventilation they can be prone to fungal infections, so you'll need to monitor it closely. A small humidity meter would be helpful... they're cheap on eBay. I would use burlap, or some other coarse fabric... unless you plan to use fruit flies in the enclosure in the future then you'll need a finer tight weave fabric. I would avoid wire. Personally, I'd remove one of the small panels in the back and replace it with the fabric and call it a day. It shouldn't be too visible on the back. [/QUOTE]
