Outdoor enclosure/pit questions

looks awesome! very helpfull. curious to where you got such a large amount of coir peat from!!?

Bunnings.
Was going to get some topsoil from a sand and stone shop for $40 for 1 ton plus delivery $30.
I was already at Bunnings so I ended up buying and using 4 big blocks of Coir peat at $13 each.

Just make sure you get the same exact one above as there is another type that has a slow release fertiliser.
Hope that helps.

yeh mate, the main thing i look for even when i know what the package looks like. "safety comes first"

Just some photo updates, not the latest but they will do for now.
I managed to grab a couple of hollow logs, but it's not shown in these photos.

Wow mate! That looks incredible. They must be loving it! Wish I was allowed something like that.

Yeah it's awesome! I love watching/seeing the Dragons absorb and worship the sun on sunny days : )

Sorry to bring up an old thread.. How would that go in bad/rainy weather?

 

[Cypher69]

Might be a silly question but how do you get inside the pit yourself for cleaning or just simply changing their water/food dishes?

 

[0bradl14]

Would the same type of pit be suitable for monitors but instead of wood it will be steel ??

 

[MathewB]

Depends on what type of monitor Brad

 

[0bradl14]

Heath monitors or lace monitors ?? Mat would they be suitable

 

[MathewB]

According to this book (Keeping and Breeding Australian Lizards) the minimum size of Heath Monitors are 120cm and Lace Monitors 1.92.....so it'd have to be a fair bit bigger. You'd probably do better making a big aviary...check this thread
