New planted vivarium / Great stuff

This will house a pair of WC Deremensis once I can get my hands on them.

Isn't that a bit small for a pair of anything?m

I also wouldn't house a pair of anythingn together as it can cause stress.

Have you thought of pygmies instead? This would be perfect for them. I agree w other post, kinda small for others, besides pygs work well as a group.

Mistking! :d

 

[Johnny909]

They will only be housed has a pair when its time for mating....

If that's an exoterra large x-tall like the box says then the dimensions are 36x18x36" guys. That's a pretty good size!

It looks great! I'd add some more climbing branches to fill up some of that space in there.

 

[camimom]

That is much different! Specify that next time. Though I still think it might be too small for one derm.

Thanks! I have a bunch of branches just don't know how to place em yet lol

Screen cages are bigger. And you can enclose the bottom to plant

I think the chams will benefit from the shade as well - good idea. My only concern is any pockets where moisture can get stuck and become stagnant, so be careful there aren't too many depressions that are deep or far back out of the air exposure to cause mold and so on. What do you plan to do for the top? Anything near the screen for basking?

I put a vine from side to side on the top, also, I have a 50w spot on each side, each with a branch that goes up to it.

Over all, when all the lights are on, The basking spots are 27c, mid cage is 20-22c and the bottom is around 19c.

It holds at a solid 70% moisture.

You are correct about mold, I forgot to take a pic when I completely covered and sealed the great stuff with silicone :S

Wow that looks great!

I can't comment on if the size is good or not but I would think glass would work better for these guys due to the high humidity requirements and they don't get that big plus this is big chunk of glass! There are a few experienced in this species here hopefully one will come by to comment.

Be sure to get pics when you get them settled in! I love deremensis, they are, for lack of a better term, super cool!

 

[Johnny909]

Maybe this picture will give a better idea of the size, I think its pretty big and should be fine.

That looks great man! I wish i was as creative or bold to try something like that! drainage for the plant pots look awesome. I may have not paid much attention to other posts as I'm sure there are other walls similar to this, but i think this looks great! Do u buy chance know how much the wall weighed when finished. I have a screen enclosure that i put a towel over one side on to help with heat and privacy, but i think it would be nice to try something similar like this that is a little more permanent.

The "great stuff" is not heavy, but the plants and the earth planted into the wall make it heavy. If its a strong steel screen it could probably hold a wall with no plants.

Ahh I see! Yea man I figured it would be a Tad heavy for that. Also I couldn't see very well what you had going on on the bottom?
