Window Time

[lokiopolis]

We have started a new habit over the last few months, in the early afternoon she waits at the corner of the enclosure ( where the door opens) until I come by to take her to the window plants. Only get about 10-15 minutes because I don't trust her alone (terrified one of the plants will fall down with her in them), but I'm starting to think I might need to do a more permanent perch or small enclosed area just to let her stare out the window for longer periods of time.

Mind you this is northern exposure, so he never gets sun, he just loves looking out the window.

As long as she has UVB and heat bulbs over the area, it sounds great!

She's got both UVB and heat elements in her normal enclosure, but its not near a window, wish I had the space to move it closer so she could stare outside all day.

UVB cannot pass through glass, so keep that in mind for how long she stays out

I'm aware, its usually only 10-15 mins.

My only concern with window sun is it can get hot very quickly. So monitor or maybe only have half the plant in the sun.

No worries, I'm always sitting right there watching, there are also a few plants behind the croton which are in the shade that she can get to.
