They are finally almost ready decorated, but there are still missing some tanks and need to be bought in near future. This are the shelves in my living-room. Please ignore my husband on the bottom of the pics and the green boa. ;D

I think the bathroom is one of the best places for them. Ours is anyway lol. Nice and steamy and warm all the time. Perfect Haha Gabi, I don't play fair Lol How big is the biggest fish tank there?

Gabi, with the amount of tanks, there is no way I can store them all in the bathroom too. I only have 3 plastic tanks with just simple setting up, so they can live in the corner of the bathroom while I bath. LOL. Sian I chose to keep them in the bathroom is because it's the warmest and steamest place in the house, save me using the heating mat and spraying the tanks all the time.

That's a nice sized tank (we have one that's a few cm shorter) IMO better to have fish in Lol. Lol felix, it is a great place for them. We don't have the room sadly. Not even for one lol and it would be way too much to move them out the bath all the time, otherwise mine would be in there too. Would make it real easy for cleaning too as I clean them in the bath!! lol

Here some more pic´s of the new tanks I bought yesterday secondhand. Was lot´s of cleaning to do. and then I have planted them and some wood and lianes and moss in. Look here: The new tank for the smithii´s (and I hope to get in the next years some degneri). Its an 80/40/40cm: Here the tank for the Extatosoma we get in spring (but that tank needs more branches in future then: The 40x40x60 for my currently single Lignus and the 2 Limicoloria youngs: Here a pretty dark pic of the owners of the new home:

Yes, real plants. I am not looking for eggs in the Lignus/Limi tank and the smithii are not adult yet. Otherways, all that is pretty quick removed and put back in again.

How do you keep your plants alive, lol, i'd probably kill them!
and where do you get the bark with Lichen on?

Oooo lovely. ;D That's about the only thing I miss about soil/coir/bark. Being able to sink the bowls into it so it's easier for the snails to get in lol. P.S I've got the fairy lights for my shelves so prepare to be beaten Rofl.
