I've recently created a large enclosure for my two G. validus. On a him, I purchased several red clay saucers -- the kind used under flower pots to hold water. I placed these in a a pile in the center of the new habitat, leaving lots of gaps.



The plateds *love* the saucers. They sun on them, rearrange them, digging under them, and climb over and around them. This morning, I found Clyde curled up like a pill-bug under a 6" plate! One of their favorite activities is curling under the plates with just a nose out, jumping out to grab a passing snack.



It's nice to know a "hunch" worked so well.
