hi everyone! I just set up an exo-terra 18x18x36 for my Baby Panther Raptor! What do you all think? Any ideas to improve would be greatly appreciated!

100 watt ZooMed basking bulb- keeps basking spot no more then 86 degrees ambient temp 72 at the bottom

2 ficus trees one big one small

1 umbrella plant

vine and wood to climb

Cover the plant substrate with rocks so he doesn't accidentally eat any when going for feeders. Also, how are you feeding him, free roaming or cup feeding? It wouldn't hurt to add more horizontal pathways either.

You know I was just thinking the same thing while here at work. Some more horizontal pathways lol!! But he is has both, free range and cup feeding. He doesn't seem to eat from the cup but I see him catching the crickets that are roaming around a lot!!

Any suggestions on a good place to buy the wood to make the horizontal pathways?

I used mostly dowels which you can get at a craft store or at home improvement stores. You can also find wood from outside, just make sure you clean it first. How are you providing his water needs?

I must twice a day. Then when I am at work I have a dripper. Saving up for a mist King. Buying every all at once is quite costly lol

I would add some smaller branches he can grip too. But looks very good .

Ditch the compact uvb they can cause eye damage and do not distribute uvb efficiently. Switch to an 18" 5.0 uvb, T5/T8. You can find a cheap linear fixture at Home Depot or Lowes, just cross check the wattage rating of the fixture with the ZooMed bulb. Otherwise the enclosure looks great!
