    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Refurnishing ATB setup tips appreciated!

Hello,
I currently have a pair of ATB that are in a custom front opening wooden enclosure roughly 4ft long by 2ft wide by 3ft high. I wouldnt say its a major problem for me but ive been having a little difficutly (maybe just my OCD lol) making practical hiding places that are easy to clean. I currently have polycrylic treated birdhouses that are mounted in the enclosure, but im trying to lean away from that idea because of how difficult it is to clean them. I was thinking of removing them and just incorporating ALOT more plastic greenery and maybe a humid hide at the bottom of the cage. If anyone has any other ideas i would greatly appreciate them!
 
Hi Haden,

They would probably be just fine with lots of cover, lots of greenery overlaying forked branches. (of course, lots of greenery is lots of fake leaves to scrub too). Have you thought about using plastic hides? There are some nice rock ones that you could possibly mount up or put in a little shelf area? Super easy to clean. I also use cocunut halves for hides, they clean fairly well. Just some ideas!

My amazons that do have a hide, I keep it on the floor of the enclosure, they usually sleep there and then spend the afternoon/night up in the branches under the fake leaves.

Amazons do well with a simple hide box on the floor of the enclosure, which is where they spend most of their time, and a few branches to climb on at night....
