How does my enclosure look?
Ok, this is the glass tank that I'm keeping Salem in. Its a 10 gal, because thats all I have room for at the moment, and personally I think he's too small to stick in a 20 yet... I have the sides and back blocked off with dark paper, and the screen top is mostly covered by plastic wrap taped down along the edges, with a gap for the lamp and two smaller ones to make it easier to mist without having to open it. Lid clamps on either end to keep it closed. I have a thermometer with a probe to keep track of the temp under the warm hide, and regular dial thermometer and hygrometer to measure overall tank temp/humidity. And I know, half log hides arent popular, but I stapled cardboard to the back end of it, dug it down deeper into the substrate so it isnt as tall, and its pretty small anyway. He uses it about a third of the time, so he seems ok with both hides. Its on the cool side too so it isnt really a problem having the deeper aspen in it, its not over the heat mat anyway. I have a small container of damp sphagnum moss that I keep hidden in the back under the leaves over the heat mat with holes in the container, which helps with humidity. I also mist about twice a day. In the morning, and when I get off work. My bedroom rarely gets under about 78 degrees, so I usually dont bother with his heat lamp. the mat keeps the overall temp at about 80-84 depending on the temp in my room.
