Hey Guys,
So I finally finsihed the cage. It hard to see, but I also put a 5.0 UV on the bottom because I saw a lot of dark spots and I wanted Thor to receive the right amount of uv. I did add an additional light for the heat so he can be toasty for the winter. He had been all over this cage...
I'm adding a ficus, hibiscus on the botttom. I also have croton, but it was dieing and I'm getting bck slowly. I have to buy additional leaves for the top, so its almot done. Btw the rope is def cheap. They sell it by the foot.
Thanks :-} its called sisal rope that I got from home depot. I actually had him climbing it before I considered using it in the cage. Its also great with mildew. Its soft on his feet and he is very comfortable relaxing on it. I love this lil guy and wanted to make his life a little less stressful
So I finally finished this cage and Thor LOVES it. He doesnt want to leave it. Usually I would leave the door open and he would walk out or crawl on me, but now he just hangs out in their. Im happy, but also sad :-( He liked to crawl on me and now he's like I dont need you women waaahhhh..ha :-)...
Believe me I would rather the fake plants as well, but my cage is so massive the plants will help with the humidity. Ive heard that about the hibiscus so that is why Im attempting with the 2 (crossing fingers)
I'm also very attentive to watering the plants because I dont want to have them die and then I have to repot..blah blah blah you guys know how it is :-) Btw my cage is 6' x3'x3'. This is a massive project my husband and I been working on. We took our time building because I wanted to research it...
At the moment I'm not using any light. I have 2 hibiscus to swap back and forth, pothos, ficus and a Codiaeum variegatum aka croton. I have a massive cage that will be done hopefully this weekend. I have a room specifically just for him and my lil insect feeders/pets. :D
I really need some help keeping my plants alive. I live in NY and the weather is not ideal for rainforest plants :-) I desperately require information on the lighting to use to keep them alive? I’ve googled and there are so many different ways to go by this, but I would prefer a person who...
I love insects and I seriously hate crickets..ha :p I would never breed them. I dont care if someone offers me a wad of money I still wouldnt do it. I would breed anyother insect but them. I have a lot of insects in my house for my cham and some for me (lil hobbie of mine as well..teehee) and...
