    Meet Tiki!!!

    Here's my normal ball Tiki!!! I've had him since July of last year. He's really good about being handled, eats well, he's active, what more could i want!!! I learned alot on here and fixed his setup according to what I read on here. I now have two thermometers, a humidity gauge, and am planning on buying a thermostat shortly. His temps are normally 90-95 on the hot side, 80-85 on the cool side.

    Tiki:





    And his setup:

    P.S. The thermometers and humidity gauge have been moved down since that was taken. The top is also partially duct taped to keep humidity in but allow ventilation at the same time. Anything you think i could do to further improve it??

    Awesome! That second shot is great!

    Only tips for the cage:
    A digital thermometer would be much more accurate, Walmart sells one called the AcuRite that only costs a few bucks and is very effective.

    Also: do you have two hides? Even if so, log hides don't provide as much security as a bp wants. I use two of these in my BP's tank... they don't really look like that in person, they're more clay-colored and have a smaller opening.

    Everything's looking pretty good! I love that big ole' piece of driftwood in his tank!

    Thank You!! I'll be sure to grab a couple of those thermometers and order those hides. I wasn't sure about the log, but he didn't seem to bothered or stressed so i figured it worked. That's for clearifying that for me!!!
