    You can just push the divider in, it doesn't need to be sealed at the bottom as long as it goes all the way to the bottom.

    O. havanensis all look the same. If you have tan sand they will blend in a little.

    N. Oerstedii can be several different colors. It can be tan and blend in with the sand or it can be green and stick out.
