New Jungle for Shinoobi

[Buddha]

Hey all, Been awhile since i posted on here, shinobi is now 8 months just about 9 months old, just got my LLL Reptile Cage, all my other supplies i picked up at the Seattle reptile expo. attached is some photos i took after i finished building it and put all his stuff in, still needs some work, gonna get a Boston fern to get more ground cover and a split leaf philodendron over in the back left for him to lap water off the big leafs and make it look more tropical, and a umbrella tree in the front left and move the bromeliad somewhere up more, may need to get a unnoticeable stand and maybe some more fake silk plants to cover some barren ridden top, let me know what you guys think, suggestions and criticism welcome. i haven't had the chance to get my mist king (money has been going to getting my iguana his new home and my leopard gecko pair), its on the list. but so far i have two zoomed deep domes (8") one with a 75w night-glo (i know unnecessary) and the other with 75w sun-glo, 24" DIY Cages Fluorescent dual fixture with a reptisun 5.0 and Phillips 6500k light (both t8), LLL Reptile's 24X24X48 water tray and screen cage, exo-terra digital hygrometer/thermometer combo (middle of cage), and one exo-terra thermometer (for basking spot) that's it for the hardware. as for the plants i have a small croton plant, a weeping ficus, a bromeliad, and a couple different dracaena's with some fake plants, and some bio-vines.

temps couldn't be more perfect around 86 basking with descending temp as follows, 80, 75, and bottom of cage 73. at night temps drop to 75 down to 73 at bottom of cage. humidity after misting goes upwards of 86-90% after that generally stay around 60%.

second pic is him chowing on the last of the giant horn-worms i had. more pics to come once i get some new furniture in there. im trying to create a realistic environment for him so any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated

Thanks for reading!

looks nice and leafy.

are those fake pot plants in there?

They are the thin plastic ones, i didnt want anything real colorful or heavy or stand-out-ish, but still have good drainage. especially since they are not the focal point and will soon be covered by more plants

oh haha, dur, i know what your talking about now, they are amipollo (spelling) fake plants, they look similar haha

Hi and welcome back! The only thing I would suggest it loose the night bulb. Chams like it dark and it can disrupt their sleep which can cause stress. Otherwise everything looks good to me. And your cham looks nice and healthy too. Handsome boy!
