Calumma O'shaughnessy

[TheCoop]

Purchased a pair a bit over 2 weeks ago, both have responded rather well to my style of Nutrition/Hydration first methods.. Male came in @114G and the Female @40G, took new weights last night after 7 days of nutrition treatment and the Male was @129G and the Female @49G.

My enclosures are home made 24"x24"x48", 1/2" plastic hardware cloth-sides & rear the top is 1/8" galvanized hardware cloth.. The door has about 65% plexi glass from base up. All sides as well as rear are enclosed with 3/16" poster board.

If you are looking for an animals that does a ton of enclosure exploring these are not for you. Most activity is an hour after lights come on and about 2 hours prior to lights going out, inbetween this time they really enjoy lying on the same branch..

Neither animal enjoyed room temperature misting at all and retreated rather quickly so i will just continue with the 40 minute luke warm shower 1-2 times per week as well as a home made dripper going all day.. They were stimulated by "RAIN" style droplets.. To give an additional amount of humidity i modified an ultrasonic humidifier and plumbed it into the top of the enclosure running @ 2-40 minute cycles each day "EARLY AM/EARLY EVENING"..

Updated to come weekly,

Brad

Here are a few shots. I could have just done round Melamine stick on caps to cover screw holes but i chose 3/8" oak button caps.. More pics to follow "still need to finish edge banding".

Thank you both, she has come a long way since she arrived. Male is still hit and miss but doing well.. I purchased a 48" dual T-5 HO fixture bundle with one Arcadia 6% uvb as well as a 6.5k daylight bulb. Should be here towards the end of next week. Truly great folks at "light your reptiles" also got 10% off. Not proud to admit im a bit behind the times with lighting.

So i pretty much wrapped up the Frilled enclosure today..

 

[TheCoop]

Few more.. Never did like small enclosures The face edging is actually birch that i stained. The side edging will be white..

 

[jpowell86]

Looking good!! I love the Frilled Dragon relaxing on the cage entrance knowing that his home is almost complete!

I took the time to update the interior on the females enclosure. She is doing amazingly!

 

[TheCoop]

Female is now exploring the entire enclosure, she has just started to shed. She is now feeding twice a day with 10 tongs. She really enjoys small/medium Dubia but will readily take anything offered. Hornworms are only offered on Saturdays after being injected with Panacur.

 

[guanagator]

She's really looking good.
