Ok this will make you feel better. This is part of the stuff I bought just to go in the new cage. Plus there were 2 more small jungle trees, 1 more large one. I had a total of 16 exo terra jungle vines. LOL amazon had those as add on items where you could get them for 5 bucks a piece 3 at a time. So I figured out that it would let me order them in every other order I did as long as the prior order with them in it had been delivered LOL. Plus I bought a mist king, humidifier, quad lighting, fluckers dimmable dome light, little dripper, thermostats, humidity guages, and 3 live plants. Oh and a solarmeter. So I get it! With everything including the cage I added it up and I spent over $1800. Yeppers it is addicting but ohhhhhh so much fun!!!!!

I know... i spent about a 1000 creating my bioactive 24x24x48 enclosure. I did not expect to, but i had so much fun building it and it was totally worth it.

You also feel a sense of pride and accomplishnent setting up a beautiful enclosure

I spent close to 1400USD building mine over a period of 3 months. I'm constantly adding stuff and making adjustments and improving the enclosure. It's time consuming but highly satisfying.

Ripley is SO Happy!!! he has been running up and down this thing ALL DAY, in his other enclosure I was lucky if he moved off his basking spot for 5 seconds!! It is so great to see him so active and enjoying all my hard work!! (and ALL my money.....)

So got my quad fixture from Light Your Reptiles, WOW what a difference!!! Of course little man has been busy redecorating, even with all the sticks he prefers to climb the walls and rip my cute little air plants off and fling them to the bottom.
