Uh, oh....

I wonder what this is for...

Just needs a few more wood pieces and of course plants and lighting. (Lights are waiting to be installed.)

Feel free to speculate all you wish.

And don't worry, I will actually get a chameleon.... Eventually.

 

[MissSkittles]

Hmmm...anoles? A snake?

 

[ERKleRose]

A type of skink?

 

[ERKleRose]

Or terrestrial gecko?

Well I've moved the ravaged ficus tree into the new enclosure, however since the animals I wanted to purchase are no longer available the plants will have a long time to recover.

Also have my nearly eaten rabbit foot ferns in there as well.

I also have a jungle dawn led light as well, they are quite amazing.

The suspense!

Progress, ive got an angel hair/fairy vine added to the enclosure (I'm a sucker for plants with tiny leaves and flowers)

The ficus has undergone an explosive growth spurt, with many new leaves to replace the eaten ones. I also had a creeping ficus planned, but it's lost in the mail and with this "amazing" weather I doubt it's alive anymore.

As for the animals none are available so it seems this enclosure will remain empty for several months.

Speaking of animals, give me some ideas, for future project, the criteria is the animal needs to comfortably fit in this size enclosure, and be a reptile that likes or tolerates handling.

While this enclosure is spoken for I have another similarly sized one in storage.

A fire skink maybe (they are fast and can be squirmy, though). What is the animal for this enclosure, though? I‘m dying to know!!!

 

[ERKleRose]

A leopard gecko could work, too!

The secret will make the reveal that much more epic, assuming im able to get said animals.

I will look into the fire skinks though.

Man the suspense is already killing me lol

I know nothing about their care requirements, but I love red eyed crocodile skinks.

I think you'd like Soleirolia soleirolii and pilea glauca, then. Both are fine for reptiles, btw...

They’re amazing! Though they are not for handling, just like chams.

Oh you even gave the real names, I'm looking these up at once.

(Looks like a future purchase is called for)

Some maniac left my ficus tree in the mailbox, in negative -5 degree weather. Not to mention it was on the move during the worst of the cold snap.

While it wasn't completely frozen solid, it was close.

Only time will tell if it's even alive, sad thing is, this guy is/was cute.

Good luck!

 

[Persnickety Parson's]

Almost done, just waiting on one final plant addition.

I've added two new plants that were suggested, they are adorable.

Before watering

This little guy is in the corner, no roots but looks like a healthy cutting.

And after watering.

Looking really good if I do say so myself.

Could you at least tell us what type of climate your mystery pet comes from?! Pretty please?
