Simba's Adult Enclosure!!! (PICS)

[KatCham]

Hi All,

Not been on the forum for a bit as busy restoring our 1966 VW Camper van.

Did eventually find the time to get Simba's new adult enclosure tho:

Then a couple of days ago, got the time to kit it all out and move him in

Hope you like:

Reptisun 5.0 UV

Feeding bowl fits in nicely!!

Basking spot safely set up (no contact with mesh to prevent burns)

Complete with temp probe and thermostat probe to control temp. Basking spot currently around 82-83. Probe at bottom of enclosure reading about 66.

Looks rather tropical doesn't it??

That enclosure looks pretty good! I especially like the picture of the horse your cham will be able to look at hahaha

Got rid of the Habba THING, and got a trusty Little Dripper, currently dripping at a rate of 1 drop every 5 secs. Haven't seen him drink yet tho

Runs down his fake plant and onto the Ficus underneath.

I've drilled a few holes in the bottom panel, which are underneath the plant pots for the water to drain out into the tray underneath, keepin the floor dry

And finally, here is the little man...which he literally is now...looks tiny again in his new enclosure. Hiding in the foliage the whole time I have seen him having a good explore so I think he approves.

I'm waiting to catch him up on his vines to get a good pic of him for you all to see, as over the past couple of days, he's developed some gorgeous reds around his face!!!

A little stunner!!

I just love standing at the door and takin in that view.

Hopefully won't be long until he's big enough to see from the door too

He is looking gorgeous! Well done with that big boy cage, it looks great! You may need to make the dripper drip faster for him to notice it though.

Thanks Tiff. Yeah I had to speed it up as later on it had slowed right down. Now at a rate of a drip every couple of seconds.
Means I have to empty the drainage tray twice a day, but I've just made that part of my routine now. A deeper tray will probs help, so I'll only need to empty it once a day.

He seems to like it. Hoping to get a Hibiscus soon for him too.

I read somewhere to start the dripper off faster as the more it empties the slower it drips. I made my own and they can be very temperamental, lol!
