Pic of my setup

Do you get those sponges wet for humidity? If they get wet i think they can still grow mold and bacteria.

Only if the same sponge is re-wetted and left alone repeatedly for long periods of time. A fresh, wet sponge placed in the cage each day shouldn't be a problem.

Been doing it for 2 yrs now and never had a mold issue or problem.
I rinse out everyday and every couple days soak w/ virosan.
Then every month I replace with new sponges.
I feel it is better than misting and misting the bark everyday, to me that could cause a mold/bacteria issue.

I guess the trick is to keep the sponges clean.

do you use real wood?

How much did that tank cost u if you don't mind me asking you? Did you have to fit a piece of plexi glass for the top meaning is it a complete screen top?

I use Reptibark.

It is a Animal Plastics T-11 I got it about 2 yrs ago and total cost w/ shipping was 305.00. The top is solid w/ 2 cutouts that are screened. You can order that way. It also has the acrylic sliding doors and the heat cable along 1/2 of the bottom.

That is a very nice setup. I was looking at a similar T3 for my cage. Do you find you need the dual holes on top to maintian the heat. I was debating if they were needed to get the temp. right or if the belly heat option of theirs will do the trick.

Oh to be Ozzy the spoiled boid! LOL
