okay Its Wooden enclosure It comes apart in 3 parts, Light Hood, stand, and Mesh cage (4'X2'X3' LXWXH) w/ removable Plexiglas panels (this is to stop the Misting from going everywhere it also helps hold in humidity) It measures 6'2 tall.

There is no substrate, instead it is a dark Plexiglas with a hole (very EASY cleaning). It kind of concaves inwards to the hole for drainage. The stand has a cabinet door everything goes inside of it, Great for storing.

At the Rear of the cage is a Coconut fiber backing. Inside it contains branches from a cut down tree, they are zip-tied together.
For Plants I have 2 pothos, and 1 ficus bonsai! I'm planning to get more plants tho!! I want this thing to look like a jungle!

As for lighting I have 2 basking lights one 6" dome w/ 75Watt zoomed, and the other a 3" dome w/ incandescent 50watt spotlight, For UBV I use a 36" reptisun 5.0 mounted on a home-depot light fixture (only 23bucks) this is set for 10am-10pm. I just got my MistKing starter Setup w/ extra nozzle! however I'm still tweeking with the timer. The one Nozzle connected normally on the cage and the other connected to a DIY rain-dome (made out of a yogurt cup and wet proof tape lol It works great!) Its timed for 4mins 4 times a day well I hope it is...

I feed my Chamili mostly crickets (40%) Silkies(40%) Butterworms (20%)
I don't really have a good variety here! i have feed her wax, and mealworms everything gets dusted with rep-cal w/o D3, Phos. every feeding. Vitamins and rep-cal w/ D3 twice monthly. I usually feed her everyday. She ate from my hand the first time last night!! only once tho!

Sometimes I cant find her! She seems so much happier in the new enclosure I notice more vibrant colors compared to when she was in the exoterra!

If anyone would like more info/questions on my setup let me know! I can make a vid or send pics!

I learned ALOT of this stuff from this forum Its amazing, way better than the pet store!!!

Thanks

Nice! How are the plexi glass panels held in? Would love a close up shot of the cage

 

[JiouD]

Thanks! There fitted into place, they fit snug but can be removed, they are half panels as seen in the pics. this is to allow for more ventilation.
Here are close ups
