Outdoor Aviary For EWD's - With Pics

[MoreliaMatt]

hey all,

finished my aviary last weekend and got the terrors into their new house! they love the space!

its 5ft x 10ft x 6,4"

heres a pic of the pond, its half sunk into the ground and half raised above the ground

here is the finished product, im quite happy with the results apart from the very bad sunburn i am still recovering from!

hope you all like, all thoughts and comments are welcome!

Cheers

Matt

That is pretty awesom, but arnt you scared that they might get out when you open the door?

That's great, i would love to do a similar type of thing for my EWD when he gets bigger. He's only a baby at the moment. Do you need any heat source when keeping them outside?
I'm in melbourne so it gets pretty chilly of a night.

Looks great, lucky lizards

 

[Starkey]

damn that looks pretty sweet!

Just a question, where did you get that pond (and the nifty little filter). I'm asking cause very soon i'll be getting an aviary for my EWD's (and beardies) and i'm interested in putting something like that in... do they come in smaller sizes?

Good looking enclosure. I have the same question as koubee for when my fellas get bigger.

nope no heat source needed... they will hide when they get too cold, but still getting down below 10 here at night these last few days and they still sleep in the water!
pete from canberra exotics keeps his outside all year in canberra.... so i dont think we have to worry about the cold! lol

theyre both 2.5 years old

na theyre pretty docile, they dont run away, if they do it is to the back corner or more than likely the bottom of the pond!
