My new Baby Shingleback + Custom Enclosure- Pic Heavy

[Tirilia]

Howdy folks,

Just picked up the newest member of the family, freighted very safely by the AAE from Adelaide to Brisbane.

She's 6 months old, Bred by Nam Thanks so much Nam, she's stunning.

I opened the freight box and this is what I saw:

First cuddles.. I think she took to me XD

Her brand new appartment

Her handsome neighbour, Zero the 2yr old Blue Tongue

So the set up is like this

With our two Pygmy Beardies upstairs... dont mind the right hand water dish, we only fill it an inch because she dives into it from her log and splashes it Everywhere! And the one on the left just pulled his nose out of his lunch

The whole custom enclosure- aka the appartment block

Hope you enjoyed the photos!

how tall is each "apartment". i was thinking converting a cabinet for my centrals. but i thought that maybe 3ft high might be too tall...

[Namn8r]

Looks like she has settled in very nicely. Very happy!!!

Cheers

very nice enclosures btw.
sorry i didnt mentio it before. should have been the first thing i said lol.
love the branches youve got in there also.
where did you get them?

 

[shane14]

wow, that looks stunning. I might try get an cage built like that. Very well done.

 

[beatlloydy]

Your enslosures look stunning.

One piece of advice tho...shinglebacks hate humidity so I would remove the water bowl and only put it back in 1 or 2 times a week otherwise it may put the humidity in the enclosure up too much.

lovely lizards are beutiful enclosures

 

[Serpentor]

nice light cages. where did you get them from?

 

[Tirilia]

Hey Nam! Glad you enjoyed the photos! Hehe she's curled herself up between some of the vines and a ledge in the wood and has her eyes well and truly closed.. poor baby must be exhausted after her trip!

Costa- Each is 2ft x 2ft x 2ft. We're waiting until the dragons get a bit bigger before making more use of the height.. they have a tendancy to kamikazi dive from the highest spot -.-

The branches and logs etc were bought from the Stafford Pet Superstore here in Brisbane

Shane, it was completely custom made, the stain, the size, the positions of the heat cages etc. Cost us just short of $2000. Im happy to find the name of the builder for you if you like

Beat, thanks! and yes Im aware of that, thank you It was only in there for the time it took to take the photos mainly because she's just been on a long flight and we thought maybe she would like a few laps of water. It was taken out after two hours

Serpentor, the lights sit on a ledge up across the top, the heat cages were $100 each from again, Stafford Pet Superstore they are all rigged up with electronics etc, all that needs to be done is to plug in the heat coils.

And thanks Shari!

 

[Tirilia]

wow thats a lot of smileys. sorry

 

[Tirilia]

Aw what a good girl lol she's now climbed to the highest spot in her tank, the little platform right next to the heat cage, she fits on it perfectly XD

 

[Tirilia]

Well wow shes already eating! I thought it would take her at least a few days to settle in.. apparently she's impressed with the quality of the service and 5 star food lol

 

[Andrais]

ur enclosures are stunning nice little shingleback too she is adorable! XD

 

[Tirilia]

Thanks Aussie

LOL Nam, are you sure shes a shingleback? I put some water back after she'd had a snack and devoured a half a grape, a peice of mango and 2 bits of banana... I just looked in on her again and she's got one foot in her water dish, lapping away at it. Most relaxed bub ever!

 

[Serpentor]

love the shingleback btw. Beautiful.

 

[Tirilia]

Thanks

 

[eamonn]

One of the best setups i have seen for a shingleback. Loving it! Loving the shingleback to !!!

 

[Tirilia]

hahah Thanks Eamonn

She's found a nook somewhere to dive into for a nap.. Im so happy she's settled in so quickly.. literally within hours of getting off a plane

i kept shinglebacks for many years and i never ever took the water bowl away. as long as the enclosure is large enough and setup properly you shouldnt hav any humidity probs. your set ups look great, i would leave the water bowl in there. gorgeous little shingle too.
cheers
