    Tali's new enclosure!
    I got Tali set up in her new visionarium on Friday. :) So far its been great with the heat and humidity, as far as I can tell. I need to get a better thermometer/hydrometer. Where are the accurites everyone uses? What I found on Amazon doesn't look like what people use. D:
    But yeah. I like it for her :) I think she's adjusted pretty well. I've come home and she's sitting at the glass checking out the room, or in the hot hide, or just taking a stroll.

    I definitely love the enclosure. In that one picture she looks like she's watching you, lol.

    Can I ask you something? How do you heat the top tank? Does it hold heat good?

    Looks very nice!
    I don't believe the top tank is being used

    Doesnt look like it is, but if it is, can it be heated properly?

    As long as the ambient is warm enough, they technically could use it without a heat pad. So if that's the case, it could be heated properly.
    Not to mention if a different species such as a colubrid uses it, they can thrive in lower temps like room temp compared to BPs.

    Looks nice OP. You can find Acurites at Walmart for $12.

    Haha, she seems to like parking herself there. The tanks are on the same desk my tv is so I do spend a fair bit of time in that area of my room, so she might be figuring out what all the the activity is about. She ate just fine last night so I don't *think* it's stressing her out.

    I'm not currently using the top tank, but both the top and bottom are recessed.

    So there should be enough breathing room I could use a heat pad on the bottom (esp with a t-stat)- after all, that's what their designed for.

    I looked around, but didn't find them. Could have missed it though.

    I'm keeping my room around 75-80 with Tali's hot spot at 90-91. I don't know what's going up top- I was leaning towards a Hognose or Rosy. I want something that will be happy in a 20L it's entire life, and then when Tali get's too big for her tank, I'll get the other one :) I think that ambient is ok for both of them, but I need to check the care sheets again before I make a final choice. I have a while though- I was planning on going up to the Puyallup expo and I'm most likely gong to get one there :)
