Project Royal Penthouse Suite Ranjo

[Sonny13]

As promised to @MissSkittles I would post the upgrade I’m planning for Ranjo. At the moment I’m waiting for the last item to arrive (damn couriers), before I can proceed.

As the recommendations for a Kinyongia Boehmei are 18”x18”x36”, I’ve noticed extreme activity within this species and just feel sorry the restricted moveable space. Due the available space and the impossible option for free range for this species, I‘m ‘creating ‘ something on my own.

Intentions:
- 36”x18”x24” glass enclosure
- 36”x18”x36” screen enclosure on top of the glass enclosure
- large 50” centerpiece Schefflera
- fully bioactive
- 2 pc fans on the side vent of the glass enclosure, to prevent air from stagnating

The centerpiece

A sneak preview from the glass enclosure with the Schefflera

The used glass enclosure, Repti Zoo

The screen enclosure Exo Terra XLarge - Tall

Well the rest to be continued…….

I'm intrigued. I hope the glass will stand up to the weight of the substrate (unless you have something else planned). If you're planning on enclosing the substrate in the particle board I see, it will need to be severely water-proofed. That stuff can disintegrate if the weather calls for rain next week.

IDT the fans will be necessary, but up to you. If there are low side vents, a chimney effect will happen.

Staying tuned.

The lower 8” is waterproof, these are made for palladiums setups. The particle boards are cocos fiber plates and aren‘t placed in the substrate and will be mounted just above, to get of glass reflection and hopefully will be grown with vegetation. One fan I’m intending to use and the other one is back-up.

The underside will be fully supported and there’s already factory made reinforcement underneath it.

Still good points

Always love your analytic point of view @Klyde O'Scope

Thanks, I got good hope for it. Off course thought it all out, before I started buying the supplies.

The schefflera trees are awesome and perfect for a chameleon enclosure build. One good centerpiece and you’re almost done. Normally people use only one single branch of a tree.

What a seriously cool idea. Following! I’ve got to see how this turns out,

This little dude hit the jackpot when you walked into that store!!

@Sonny13 You have some curious things in the background.

Never looked at them before, been a few times to the Caribbean. Absolutely love those trees

they deserve the best. I know your boy has had the same luck
Always lived that way with all my animals……..they can’t help it to be caged and I hate to be caged or controlled.

You don’t mean, Woodstock, beer and whiskey…….
It’s only a 18 - 25 - 30 y Talisker

I was curious about the concert picture and the de oorlogskranten. Your libation collection looks interesting too.

It’s a picture from Joe Cocker’s performance at Woodstock, taken from backstage towards the audience (not by me, unfortunately), De Oorlogskranten are real newspapers from the Second World War
