okay so we worked really hard today but we didn't get finished. so tomorrow morning we'll get the last little bits from the hardware store and drake will be in his new enclosure by lunch!!! (our lunch not his LOL)



you can see the UTH we have attached to the top of the cool side of his enclosure to assist with ambient temps in the winter. we've also attached a piece of driftwood for him to hang out on. (you can see the inside view of the vents here as well)



i'm using a piece of driftwood as his hide... i've attached his UTH between two pieces of ceramic tile (taped together with alum. tape) for ease of cleaning and to add weight to his UTH so i didn't have to tape it to the wood.









we found these wonderful vents... made of hard plastic. as you can see by one of the above pics... they have a little ledge on the inside which drake can sit on (at least a small portion of him) if he wants to.




at this point we'll leave this side open till we get the shelves made for it.
