I am just overwhelmed with all the great animals shown here by all.

Good thread.....

Personally, I find the best "show" animals, i.e. those that stay out where they can be seen, are mostly Rats that prefer to climb and seem secure while exposed.
.
With many of my adult Rats, I use plastic or silk, natural-looking plants to enhance climbing branches. I think these animals are calmer and stay exposed longer if they "feel" hidden with plants.
With some long term captives, I don't put in a hide at all, as long as they seem like they arn't stressed.

Observing Rats in the field, one often finds them basking in a tangle of Grapevine, entwined in the roots of an upturned tree.
