Nearly ready for new arrival!

I'm very excited right now, after being without a cham in my home for 3 years my 4 month old blue bar ambilobe is due to arrive this week!
I'm just working on the finishing touches of his cage, and thought I would share for opinions! I'm using a 46x46x92cm screen cage, umbrella plant and some fake flowers and vines. All that's left to add is a tube light and dripper.

Also, a quick question!
I bought the umbrella plant from a garden centre, does this need to be re-potted? If so, what sort of soil do I need to use?

Most likely yes it will need to be re potted. The soil you should use should have no chemical fertilizer I don't know what is available in your area but if you can't find anything local then I would look online.

I would just cover the soil with large rocks so that he can't get down into the dirt and also so he cant eat a rock.

There's also a chance that he could eat the umbrella plant and so it's good for him to eat it if its not in chemical fertilizer, it is also a good idea to put large stones on top so he doesn't eat any dirt.

Great, thank you! Little guy arrives on Sunday so it's time to get re-potting!
