Well being as Double D will eat anything within toung reach,I didnt want to use newspaper. I went to wal mart and bought a couple of those big rubber mats (the kind that have the little like pegs thingys sticking up out of them. WEll I turned them OVER so that id have the flat part out. Protects teh wood, easy to remove and wash if they dont go in the water.

: Wussup peeps!!! Havent been here in a while but thats because I've been busy working on Freddy's enclosure. The 3'6 deep by 5'6 wide by 55' high (interior measurments) has finally been completed, and the paint and wood stain is dry but II am still letting it air out. The interior is painted a bright green and has 2 levels...its as big as my apartment (lemme stop...LOL) Anyway, he will be going in this weekend, after I wrap all the ramps with rope to make it easier for him to climb. There will also be a cat litter box filled with water for him to goo in and poop. Any ideas if he will even use it? I plan to cover the "ground level" with newspaper in hopes that he wont poop on the wood directly, but will he eat the newspaper?? Should I cover all the levels in newspaper?? His food will be on level two, which is half the length of ground and about the same depth. The top level is the same length as ground level, but half the depth. Thats his basking area. Anyway, I'll post some pics next week, but siince I'm adding the finishing touches, your feedback would really be appreciated. Thats All Folks ! ! ! !
