After Hermès showed up a bit bigger than I thought, the bioactive cage I made was too small. Had time to run to the greenhouse and pickup some more plants and set up his cage. 18x18x36. Bought a shelving system from menards for 50$, some wood blocks to raise the cages and be able to slide in...
If I notice that the urate and poop look off I definitely will. But as with the verrucosus I got from them he arrived in good health and acclimated nicely.
Just got this guy today, due to a Ups screw up he arrived today instead of yesterday. Was very cold and got him warmed up asap, seems to be doing good now. But man is he gorgeous, asked for a high yellow/ blue and they delivered. I'll post updates later, but here are a few pics for now
My Oustaleti, ATLAS estimate about 8 months old.
Verrucosus, ICARUS would also estimate between 7-8 months.
Both Wc, but settled in and adapting very well. Working on getting a little fat cap on icarus.
Would love to see more oustaleti owners or verrucosus

Cage is 4.5ft long, 2ft wide and 43in at its highest. Amazon greenhouse with base combo 120$. Sprayed wood with Olympic waterguard clear 18$, let dry inside and outside over the course of a week. Sprayed 3 coats...
Switching to a greenhouse with planter base. It'll be 36x24x52, need a much larger cage for an Oustaleti. It comes with a liner, and I'm also planning on running a plastic liner under that to prevent moisture buildup in the wood. But my question is the kit recommends using a wood sealant. I'm...
All of the humidity numbers I discussed were without the use of a fogger, I like to get my temps and humidity close first without throwing in a bunch of other variables. I'm a mechanic, you don't want to be just a parts changer, if a headgasket blows, you want to find the root source of the...
