I'm finishing up my new viv build and I'm preping one of the large logs I plan to put into it. It's an aged apple wood stump, but I've recently realized an issue with it. It's prefect, except it has a huge split running the length of it. The split it about as wide as my pinkie. It also is on the side that wold face up.

My worries are that #1 poop could get in there and #2 crickets could hide in there.

I don't usually feed crickets, but do on occasion. Most of his food will be in a no-escape feeding dish, but sometimes I feed crickets loose for the hunt and because you can't really keep crickets from escaping a dish anyway.

The bigger concern is probably poop getting in there.

Should I just leave it alone or plan on spraying it out if any ever gets in there, or should I try filing it with something? If I fill it, what should I use? I was thinking clear silicone, but not sure if that's a good idea or not.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
