It's Finally Ready!

[Herpo]

Hi all,

Some of you may recall that I mentioned Popeye's new enclosure would soon be ready. Well, today, my dad and I put together this not too shabby enclosure for the good reptile.

This is Popeye exploring his new "apartment". Enjoy!

I was meant to have two photos, but one won't download. Sorry for the bad quality, taken with my phone.

Looks good mate. Well done.

Good job, mate!

Whoa, great job, looks great! What is the size of the new one?

 

[Herpo]

Thanks everyone. The new one is about 50x30x30. Granted, I doubt it will last him long, but I felt it was time for him to move out of his click clack. I'm curious though, right now, he is at 33 degrees. Is that enough or too much? Right now, he is having a rest in his hide.

33 degrees where? That is what it should be at his basking spot.

The temperture "measurement thingie" (for want of a better word) is sticking out of the middle of the rock background. You can see it in the photo, under the vine near the center.

It's basically a good 20cm under the heat lamp.

If the probe is under the heat lamp, then 33 is pretty much on the money. I wouldn't let it get any hotter though. Do you know what it is at the other end?

 

[Herpo]

I'll check what it is at the other end tomorrow. Right now, we are letting him settle in without bothering him. Once again though, thanks for the help guys, I really do appreciate it.

If that's the thermostat or thermometer it should be measuring the temperature at the hottest part of the cage that the snake can get to so it wont over heat.

That's the word! Thanks wokka. Well, then, we've done it right.

Also, he shed last night. You can see the skin ready to come off around his tail in the photo. He's a nice yellow and black right now. He always looks so good post shed.
