George's first cage finally all finished!

[Solskin]

Today I finished installing George's drainage system, and now his cage is all (finally) completed! Until he needs his big boy cage..
I'm currently using a 46x46x92 Reptibreeze full screen cage, with half of the back screen covered with PVC, a hydroflo drain tray from Chameleonworld Muji, which drains through my cabinet in to a tray/bucket. There is an umbrella plant, passion flower fine and lots of hidey places for him!

Looks good, I think George will feel very safe and secure in that cage.
If I could suggest, maybe a few more branches, going horizontal, about 10'' below the basking light. You will need to experiment using a probe digital thermometer to get the right distance, and the right bulb wattage.
What kind of UVB are you using?
What %UV is your bulb?

His top horizontal branch is roughly 10" underneath the basking spot currently, and there are a lot of hidden branches around the back! At the moment he enjoys scurrying around his plants, but as he gets bigger and too heavy, I'll be adding more as we go!
His UV tube is an Exo Terra Repti Glo 5.0 UVB, his basking lamp is a 75W which brings his basking spot to just under 90, gradient going down his cage.
Humidity is resting at 40% with peaks of 50-60%.

George looks a lot like my Chumley (very handsome) I wish we could get those drainage trays in the states- You'll most likelly find some things you want to do when he gets into his big boy cage but it looks pretty good to me -

I already have so many ideas for his big boy cage, I'm itching to get started on it! Thank you your Chumley must be a handsome fellow too!

Today George's Passion flowers started to open! These are quite possibly my favourite flowers!

That looks gorgeous, he looks like he'll be happy in there.

I've seen that drainage base before...I think it's the base used in dog potties.

Thank you!
They are indeed very similar, I almost bought a doggy potty for him before i found these!

What plants did you use in this enclosure? It is absolutely gorgeous. I am looking for some flowering plants to put in my chams cage and am curious what you used??

Thank you! The flowering plant I have used so far is a passion flower (the one in the last photograph), the big orange flowers are fake unfortunately! Hoping to replace them with hibiscus once he gets in his big boy cage. I like the passion flower because it's a vine and has grown all over his branches, he loves scurrying around in it.
