Encloser Advice

[MeloMarl]

Hey guys, me and my uncle just made this stand for Marleys encloser and I love it. It's nothing fancy, I just wanted something sturdy and high. The top of his encloser sits just over 6 and a half feet high so I'm sure hes loving that lol.My temps are right and my humidity is much better after adding the shower curtain to the back and on of the sides. I just wanted to know if there is anything that maybe I should change. I do plan on making a proper drainage system. I was also wondering if I should buy a bigger deep dome for my uvb light. Right now I have the zoo med mini deep dome for the uvb. I was also wondering if I should get a plant light for my ficus tree and umbrella plant and if you guys think its a little too dark in the encloser. There is a picture with the curtains open and a picture with them closed.

I would get a uvb tube style bulb

With cage that big, you need a bulb that covers more of the cage.

A plant light will help your plants,and will add more light, which is good for avoiding napping.

ohh lol yea I used to have a fake ficus tree but the humidity really sucked and its gotten better since ive gotten these real plants. My umbrella plant has gotten taller but its dropping leaves. Do you know where I would be able to buy a grow light? would lowes or home depot carry those?

 

[camimom]

if its dropping leaves, its either being over watered, or its pot bound.

and it could need more light.
I think lowes and home depot sell them
