You might be wondering just who all of this effort is for. You might notice in the bottom is a piece of cardboard in the bottom covering a click clack........

This is Phoenix. He's a Hypo Coastal juvie from Pimms Pythons. Thanks Simon, he's a little rippa!!!!



Tomorrow I'll let him explore a bit and see what he thinks of his new digs. Don't think I'll actually let him out for good for just a little while yet.

Cheers

I used liquid nails High Strength Fast as it's designed to work with poly styrene. Didn't have any issues with it letting go at all.

thats better michael, looks good. Just check that the heat lamp does not melt the foam next to it, it looks pretty close.

 

[The_Dreaded_Pets]

ooohhh hmmm i didnt think of that 1 lol will have to see how mine goes may have to take some of that wall out lol as the 1 im makeing for my beardies is back and almost both sides

 

[Snakewoman]

Yeah it will need to be moitored, the next month will be a trial until I release him fully. I'm still working on the right wattage globe.

l have found with some of my tall enclosures that they get a bit cool down the bottom . Another , lower , heat source fixes this . Might not be a prob in QLD . Looks great .

Dont worry about them being cool down the bottom as long as they have a basking area in the warm top part as well. If it doesnt like the cold it wont hang out there, but you will probably find it enjoys having such a large heat gradient

Ben's right. For most of the year its at least24/25c inside. Part of the reason I moved here.

He spent a few hours with free access and he seemed to enjoy exploring all the nooks and crannies.

 

[MC-Boks]

Finally found a place to sit and watch everything. He'd better make the most of it as he won't fit there for much longer.




Thanks for all the feedback. Soon it'll be time to start working on one for my Bredli.

Cheers
