DYI Cage - What Plants to put in it

[Klyde O'Scope]

Just curious... are the sides screen or plexi (or glass)?
It looks good regardless.

The T5 looks like it may be going front to back; it should run side to side.
Could definitely use more foliage, and branches, dowels, whatever for climbing & getting around.

He'll likely try to reach the ceiling to walk around upside down. Just double check that you can keep your hand comfortably on the screen below the basking/heat lamp so he won't get burned. If it's too hot, raise the lamp an inch or so at a time until it's not too hot.

Both sides are Plexi. I will be getting some more branches to put in on Saturday.

Might be a silly question, but is the wood finished? As in, covered with polyurethane or silicone? Unsealed wood will likely rot/mold quickly.

Yup, I used several coats of finishing that is designed for outside use

I got a pathos vine, 2 wandering jews, a ficus plant and a money tree so far. Othe than that just a few branches off my Oak tree so he has things to climb on

Great i love the wandering jew to add a bit of colour and a different texture i accidentally broke my first one but dipped in a little organic rooting hormone and it took no problem. They are good to have like lots in one pot that make a nice feature or 1 vine in individual small pots to add small bursts of colour throughout

Here she some pics of the finished product. The CliMist was pretty simple to install, that system is great. Still need to get some branches to put in.

Thanks Gray. I went to several pet stores and got what seemed like "good" advice on how to look after a new Veiled. But after my first post here I found out otherwise. everyone here was super helpful and Floki is better off today for it
