I think im prepared....


I purchased a 12x12x12 used exo terra habitat, the rainforest kind, this guy gave the sand (which i discarded), 2 hides, water dish, and the light fixture at the top with it.

I brough it home, discarded the sand, completely sterlized it with a little of dawn dishwashing detergent and clorox bleach cleaner, every inch of it. LOL

Went to walmart and bought vines, 2 pieces of black foam board, sticky velcro, some of those plastic hooks to hold the vines up inside, and some kitchen foam shelf liner, the non sticky kind for the bottom of the cage(i hate using paper towels its unattractive, my cages are in my living room). The velco is used to hold the foam board on both sides of the tank, and can be removed easily for viewing purposes.

I cut the shelf liner into a 11x11 square (will be cutting several for easy changing as needed), added the hooks, inserted the vine with a line across the cage for walking, and then all around the sides. total about 6 foot of vine. Added the two hides and the water dish. Then put sticky velcro on the foam boards and attached to the sides.

I went to petsmart looking for a 15 or 25 watt red light for night viewing but they didnt sell that small wattage in red. So ill have to order online.

I also purchased some bedding but am not sure how to use it unless I use the bottom of a butter bowl cut in half. Ill have to figure that one out. I may not use it unless they really need to burrow and dig.

For CGD ill probably be using a lid from a small pickle jar or some such when I find a small enough one.

Here is pics, any suggestions? What am I missing?
