: Well I have enclosed the corner of my Reptile Room to provide a giant cage for Ziggi!
: It measures in at 8 foot long, 4 foot wide, and 7 foot high! He's looks so little in there.
: He seems to like running up and down the two large branches in there. He did fall about 4 feet yesterday, but
: seems to be ok. I put part indoor/outdoor carpet and part linoleum on the floor! Under the basking area he has a 3 foot long and 18 inch wide
: swimming area, cut into the floor so tub can be removed and cleaned when soiled. The bottom part of the cage(3 foot up from floor) is enclosed in plywood, the upper
: part (4 foot) is plastic wire mesh. The top is wire mesh. He has a basking shelf at 6 feet that is 4 foot long, also a large branch runs parallel with
: the basking area and goes down at an angle to the floor(huge pecan limb). I had the 2X4 cut out, so now the only thing between him and the two 4 foot long Repti-sun 5.0
: bulbs is 12 inches and wire mesh. The room stays 80-84 degrees at all times. I use a 15 watt and 25 watt bulb for heat, the two Repti-suns put off 40 watts each. The basking area was 98 degrees yesterday under the
: 15 watt bulb and 97 under the 25 watt. I know room temp is 80(yes thermometer, but also my aquariums, 30G,55G,75G, stay at a 80 degree water temp and I don't use heaters.
: Ziggi does worry me, scared he will fall and get hurt, he did leap from a branch to the plastic mesh yesterday, and he doesn't realize this but there's no where to go from there, plywood at the bottom and 2X4 seperating plastic and wire mesh.
: Its like he's stuck in a window unless he jumps about 3-4 feet to the ground! Sorry so long, I will post some pics of it this weekend, its really big and built good(I didn't do it personally, friend of family did!)
: Take Care.
