Ok so I finally had some time to get some decent pictures of Proteus' enclosure. The actual size is 3L x 4W x 5H. But his area is 3x2x5. I really didn't want to have him 4 feet back in there with vines going everywhere!

Full Enclosure. 9 bendy vines and a dwarf schefflera with 1 fake vine plant. Took me some time to get it this way. I actually had to redo it because the plant wouldn't fit!

Basking spot with multiple levels for him to choose from. It's around 88-90 at the hottest spot, down to 82 on the lower vines

Basking fixture with 10.0 reptisun 48". He can fully get out of the light, but most times he is at the middle to high levels.

Left side of enclosure. I use vinyl coated hardware cloth on each side. And then zip-tie vines to that.

Zip-Tie hard at work! Haha.

Lowest level. I put large polished stones in the pot to prevent him from getting to the soil. He hasn't tried to do anything with it thankfully.

Middle level. Vines criss-crossing all over, even through the plant.

Thanks guys! He uses it all. I've only had him 2 weeks and he's probably the friendliest lizard I've had. Comes right to the front of the cage the second I walk into the room. Eats right out of my hand!
