 Enclosure upgrade

Thank you to everyone who helped me with the ideas!

I covered two sides of his enclosure with sky blue wrapping paper. I added more vines and spread out the other ones. He has a basking basket (which he may or may not use!) I made more hides for him. The one in the middle has the entrance on top. It is a basket for hanging plants. The walls are natural coconut fiber, will also help hold humidity. I put a black plastic step stool (I love the Dollar Store) in the enclosed corner and propped it up a bit on his hide. It makes a dark, but more open hide. I made sure to leave the tops of his warm and cool hides open for him because that is where he usually basks if he does. I also made sure he could see well out of the front of the enclosure. He likes to check out what is going on.

Here is a picture of the old, boring enclosure.


Here is the upgraded enclosure.


Cool side.


Middle.


Warm side.


I realize my temps are a little low. I had the top off and was moving stuff around. They should be back in range shortly.

Next project is going to be an out of enclosure climbing tree with a couple hides in it so he can get some exercise when I am doing things in my room that don’t involve me being able to have him on the bed with me or around my shoulders.

I love the coconut thing in the basket. Such a duh moment for me. I already give that to my guy, but he tramples on top of it and flattens it, of course, but still burrows under. Again, Duh moment...good way for him not to crush it, lol

They might be too big. You could try cropping them or setting your camera to take the picture using less pixels. A lot of the people on this forum use Photobucket instead of this photo server. I have never used Photobucket, but you could start a new post and ask some of the others.

Welcome to the forum, look forward to seeing your pics!
