That will not help with your humidity but it does give them something they can use for climbing. You could use hot glue or you can get some of the aquarium sealant stuff.

Would that be safe for hermies?
I kinda borrowed your idea with the popsicle sticks. Hope you don't mind?. :S

Yes I did see it and it is cool. I have something like it but I have it held up by suction cups. I put all my shells on it.

I thought about putting all my shells up their too, but my hermies have discovered that tunneling is fun, and my food dish always ends up upside down, so I have my food dish in there.

Hey if that's what you need it for by all means. It will help keep your tank cleaner. XD

I realize this is an old thread, but see where Popsicle sticks are mentioned. In case a member does use the search engine for Popsicle, it should be noted that majority of Popsicle sticks are made of birch... which should not be used in a hermies tank due to Birch bark produces a substance much like aspirin so I would suggest to avoid all parts of a birch tree.
