Just one more time, going for the ultimate build

[Sonny13]

Late to the thread, but it looks AMAZING! I love the natural look.

One thing, though: alocasias are actually toxic, and if the future resident is a plant-nibbler you might want to take it out: https://www.gardenguides.com/126992-poisonous-alocasia.html

Double checked it and what I can read so far is it the Elephants Ear that´s poisonous and dangerous. That´s the one type I don´t have in the enclosure. However, I keep Googling for more info. Thanks again

 

[Sonny13]

So have you finally decided?????

Nope, I just saw the post from Beman again about no.5 and needed to laugh, because the one I choose would be no.5

And good luck today

Some new residents arrived (finally found some)

Porcellio pruinosus orange​

Porcellio laevis Dairy Cow​

Beautiful!

 

[Lindasjackson]

Yes, beautiful!

 

[Sonny13]

After one month some plants have died and starting to resurrect again and others are thrilling from the start. Like how this jungle starts to grow…….

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

Is there any room left for your chameleon?

 

[Sonny13]

What chameleon?!

 

[Lindasjackson]

It certainly is beautiful!

 

[Sonny13]

And the bloom continues……some plants died quickly, like the Gynura Purple Passion and Begonia maculata, but never removed the roots and they’re back again.
The Philodendron florida beauty, Pothos and Neoreglias are shooting air roots endlessly and entangling branches (becoming epiphyte)

Even “death” vines are starting to come alive and giving new green twigs.

Lifting up leaf litters give another surprise, the CuC has become large and big

I can't get over how perfect this enclosure is! It is truly the ultimate build. Everything looks to be settling in perfectly. I love when the CC really gets established in the leaf litter. Very satisfying!

Same as all of my setups, the Arcadia Jungle dawn. Just like how can run them with one power cord. Got the enclosure running with a 34” and 18.5” led and 48” UVB.

The 34” is extremely bright

Thanks buddy, it’s cool to see how invasive these tropical plants are, once they’re settled their roots take over everything.

Absolutely and those Porcellio laevis dairy cow, get really big and are beautiful to see as well.

I may have asked you this before but are you seeing much heat output from the jungle dawns? I really want to add one but I am hesitant to spend that kind of money if it is going to increase the heat too much.
