Please critique Stuart's cage

[spacecats1001]

We just added some things to Stu's cage and are wanting opinions....he is an 11 month old ambilobe.
He is in a large dragon strand atrium clear side. Lighting is the 36"quad with a 12% arcadia bulb. I have the light on the extended legs so it does not sit right on the screen and also much foliage at the top of the cage. He has a mist king running with two back facing nozzles and one rain ring in the middle. Basking temp is between 87-90 depending on the house temp....low temp in far bottom left corner runs between 70-74.
I guess my main concern/question is, is there too much foliage? I just moved the big fluffy plant to the top for better shade overage and to open up some roadways for Stu in the middle area (it had ben in the back center) .....behind this plant is all open roadways with no cover. Is the big leafy plant (top center) overkill?

Thank you in advance.

plants look too close to the basking spot, he could burn himself. I'm no expert though.

Looks great! Love your dude's colors. Basking temp seems fine. Nothing is overkill short of him being smashed against the wall unable to move. As long as he has branches to climb through and the ability to get light he's good. The more foliage the better.

Thank you so much!
He actually has almost no plants near the bask spot....must be hard to tell in the pic. Thank you for your responses

It's a beautiful looking set up.

Did you verify all the plants were Cham safe? Why did you go with a 36" hood over something a bit bigger?
The whole setup looks great. The large plant in the front is very nice IMO. The only downside is that the more we put in these enclosures, the less we see of our little friends inside, but that's a good thing for them and that's what matters.

Good questions!
The only real plants are 3 pothos and one ficus, the rest is fake until those grow in more.
I thought about a 48" light but I went with a 36" to give him a "no UV" zone on the left most 6" of his cage, even at the top. Especially since he has the 12% bulb. He has plenty of options to regulate that way.
I think it is fun to see him come and go....he emerges plenty and we're like "Ooo, here he comes!" He's still pretty tame...easy to coax out because he knows he is heading outside
