| thanks for the input ellen! i think the crickets are my main concern, but if their population is controlled (feeding only the amount the anoles will eat each meal) i think the damage to orchids (and the other plants) will be minimized. i have plans to just put the orchid in a pot in the terrarium, which is supposed to have a layer of bark chips, moss, etc in the bottom, but i don't think that would be a suitable medium (not very deep either) so the plan was to mound stuff near the base of the orchid pot, so that it is closer to the lights. maybe we'll even find anoles basking on the phal leaves! i'll keep the geeks updated as the project goes! |
