So I went on a spending spree for Moe yesterday and wanted to share his updated enclosure pictures. I think it is pretty much done, all I'm waiting for now is the Rain Dome I ordered and I need to get some lighting done for the two trees. First, a before picture... (Taken outside but always been set up this way...)
Now, other than waiting for the Rain Dome and plant lights...here is his finished product...
The two trees...
April Remembered Camellia (Camellia japonica)
French Pussy Willow (Salix caprea) <---This might be hard to keep alive.
Inside the enclosure...
Spider Plant (Hanging through the top of the cage by wire connected to a rod.)
Goldon Pothos
Umbrella Plant
Draceana (Two different types.)
The other plant that is off to the side of one of the trees is just there. I'm unsure of what it is called and I think Moe will be safe as I don't expect him to wonder down to it.
Lighting is a Repti Glo 5.0 Tube UVB and a Repti Basking Spot Lamp 75w for his basking spot. Yes, there is another light there for use at night. My house gets cold (even for me) at night and I have watched him for several months with it now and it doesn't affect his sleep AT ALL with it. Maybe he is just a weird one.
The now permanent location for his cage is against the wall in the living room. There is no T.V. in there but there is traffic. He is used to it and pays no attention nor seems stressed when the house becomes active. I actually think that my roommates, our other pets, and I all keep him entertained. If we are all active when his lights turn to night time mode he sleeps right through all our craze.
Anyway, other than setting up the Rain Dome when it gets here, the lights for the plants, and drilling a few little holes on the bottom part of his cage so that water can drain into the plastic bin below, his cage is complete. I actually like it and he doesn't seem stressed by the change at all. If anything, he is even brighter colored and more relaxed. Thanks for looking and any constructive criticism is welcome!
