Mazikeen progression thread

finally working on her bigger tub. it's long overdue, but I haven't had the energy with how heavy classes were hitting me. gotta clean it out, add substrate, plants, and hides, and get the RHP set up correctly and we're good to go!

(i may take a nap now.... lol)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7244fd4457.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ec33ef7329.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...00ab2ead4e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...56a08a7033.jpg

I did not take a nap and now Maze is in her new house. She poked around for a few minutes, then immediately went into hiding. It'll be interesting to see how she does when she comes out for the evening.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c9bb80c386.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...287c250df9.jpg

Thank you! Plants r my passion [emoji118][emoji118].

Maze came out tonight, and since I think her last meal was on the small side, I went ahead and offered. She took her meal like a champ, and in an unfamiliar place to boot. I swear she's indestructible lol.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7e8adb6691.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d11b935aeb.jpg

Is that a rhp you have installed? How easy is it to attatch to a tub and what testing would you recommend doing to ensure it’s secure? I’m half considering a rhp for a tub set up but still unsure about it vs using a CHE.

Yep. I have the longer zip-ties attaching it to the tub, and they're pretty sturdy. They may be heavy duty zip-ties, and they definitely look it. This lid is also really rigid and thick, so I'm not worried about it warping.

This will sound odd, but I hot-glued a lip of screen mesh around the edge of the RHP down to the tub lid. Don't want Maze somehow getting between the RHP and the lid. So far so good.

Got any photos by chance? I admit I’m having a hard time visualizing it but it all sounds like a very interesting approach!

None from before setting up the tub. Just took these, and the lid is really friggen heavy (it was before I installed everything) so quality may not be the best. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2f2f34989a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c7d9d9631d.jpg
