Hey everyone,
I just got finished building my male velied (about 1yr old) a new enclousre that I hope he will love. Now i must say i would not consider myself an expert in any way, this is the first thing i have ever really built. I think it came aout really well and since i read these pages all the time looking for ideas i thought i would share what i have done with the rest of the community.
The cage is 5ft tall 4ft wide an 2ft deep. I used 2x2 for the frame and 1/4 in mesh for the caging material. i have a hanging pothos and a large ficus as well as 24ft of exo terra biovine. 2x 18in zoomed 5.0 and one zoomed 75 watt baskinglamp. all in all i think it will make a wonderful home for my little guy.
PS side question, i put my guy in there yesterday and he has not eaten since being in his new home, he also seems to go hide in the ficus when i get close to check him out. I understand there is some aclimation time involved but how long should it go untill i should worry?
Thank you to all future responses and to everyone else who has posted for i may have stolen some ideas.
. Please feel free to ask any questions too, i would love to share what i have learned.
