I'm thinking it is temporary because it is too small. A full grown WD will be around 3ft long and needs lots of room to climb, run, jump, swim, etc.
For water, the use of a big cat litter pan as you see in his and mine above works really well. They get dirty fast, so you need to be able to access it and change out all the water and clean the pan a few times a week. Since they are good climbers, you can just give them a branch, vine, ladder, etc to get up into and out of it... And yes, 10 gal is way to small, even for a baby. They grow fast and need to climb.

I just got a baby CWD about a month ago. Your enclosure is amazing. I am wondering what you used as far as wood to build this monster of a cage? and you said you painted and sealed it I was curious as to what kind of paint you used and what it was sealed with. I am looking to build mine something similar. I want to do something very similar actually. I am thinking a 5-6 long by 4' tall and 2' deep. I love how you did this setup. Any info you could give would be awesome.
Thanks in advance

Yes they can change from a very bright green with blue lines to a very drab kinda brown. Can change with temp and mood. At least I have noticed with my young male.
