Blue tongue enclosures

[mrhoyo]

Apologies if this thread has been done before, I did a search and nothing came up.
I want to see all your blue tongue and shingleback enclosures to get some inspiration for mine and to see if Australian style is any different to the UK.
Thanks

i havent got any pics but all of mine are kept in big plastic tubs with a fly screen top on the them. i use aspen bedding for them. The younger ones also have a hide box but all generally bury into the substrate. i use a heat mat or heat cord system

Cheers Nick

no different to putting them in a cage the same size. I keep all bar 2 of my reps in tubs, cheap and easy to clean

Peter that's incredible, I'm very jealous! Do you ever have problems with birds looking for a meal? Just curious...

Yes mate...... I made it from marine Ply & MDF coated in marine varnish.... I have had it nearly 4 years & use a shade sail over it to keep out excess heat & rain. I also cover it during deluge such as now. Here are more snaps..... it also has a divide down the middle.

I got it from a local pet store, actually. As soon as I saw it, I had to have it. It's perfect for a hide/basking area, that goes most of the way along the enclosure ^^

I like these a lot, very good if breeding is a priority. Mine looks good but its not good for breeding, to many variables. Its more for sitting in these days.

really? I thought in a setup like yours they would breed quite well

 

[-Peter]

They breed but you have no control.
