Setting up my Boyd's Enclosure

[Dragonstone]

Hi guys, taking the leap and got all my stuff today. Still chasing a feature tree trunk to base my landscaping around.

Will house 2-3 2 month old Boyd's and will give me a few years before I upgrade their enclosure.

Looks good. If you want a resin upright tree feature, URS - Ultimate Reptile Supplies, have some nice bamboo and tree products.
I have one in my frog tank and attached some fake plants for the frogs to sit on.

Yep it's in. Just got it on x2 20second sprays.

Struggled a little with feeding today but they all got a good feed after about 45mins of me running around chasing woodies and crickets on the floor. LOL

I find its easier to just feed them a stable of good crickets in the enclosure, and mealworms/woodies in a bowl with fluon every 3 days.

The misting times sound about right. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

They are smashing everything I throw at them which, is great.

Got a few more vines and plants coming to make it more natural for them.

Which one in particular was yours?

Which one in particular was yours?

PX38-3 Upright logs with rocks - Large.
It is a bit under 90cm tall which is the height of my tank.
You may have to weigh down the base or even silicone it to the floor depending on how the Boyd's jump around on one this tall.
The base of mine is under water and at no risk of tipping as a whole. Adding a large orchid leaf plant to the thinner branch and having a pile of frogs sitting on it has a lot of weight high up. This has started to pull that branch forward by bending the base at its thinnest point. To fix this I bent the base a bit more till the two uprights touched and then siliconed them together where it can't be seen. I clamped them together for a few days with cable ties to properly set.
