It Starts!...Bluey enclosure

Postby crownedwolf » Tue Aug 02, 2011 8:17 am

Hey guys, getting my little grump tommorow and just set up his viv. I'm quite pleased with it so far, just fiddling with temps now to make sure they are right.

Knowing me i'll make some adjustments, but thats the jist of it. 3ft by 18 by 20. I believe my skink is a Tanimbar (will confirm with you guys), so he should be alright in that. I'm going to be upgrading to a 4ft when i move out after uni in any case regardless of his species so he can have more room to explore. :D cannot wait!

I looked at your old post. Your skink looks to be a irian jaya... but its hard to tell because the pictures are very blurry.

Beautiful enclosure. What type of ventilation does it have?

The viv was purchased from Pontardylais Garden Centre, in the small reptile section. Flat packed and my dad built it for me, i'm useless at DIY xD.
I've changed it alittle bit since then, had to move his cave sideways as he was climbing to the uv all the time, and didnt want the risk of hm blinding himself.
Also propped up his basking stone so he hides under that alot, and poos under it xD.
