New additions to the family & enclosure upgrades

[Rustygurl]

My Bluey Eli just got an enclosure upgrade. A nice sandpit under the heat lights, a deep bedding box and a feeding platform with astro-turf so he can't consume bedding by accident. He is a little spoilt. I've had him for about a year (he was only a few days old when I got him) and he got his new enclosure 6 months ago but the sand was originally just in a small container. He took to spending most basking time in it so I decided to make it a little bigger.

His breeder contacted me last week saying they were no longer able to keep all of their skinks. I had first choice if I wanted 2 they were getting rid of. One was Eli's father, the other just a random female. Ollie (the father) has apparently latched onto her a few times last week so fingers crossed she is gravid.

After finding out i could have these 2, i made a quick call to my friend who built the original enclosure and he has turned the stand portion into 2 more enclosures. I'm just waiting for the heat lamps to turn up and then they will be complete.

Please welcome Ollie and Rhonda to the family

very nice .

Is that mesh on the front or reinforced glass ?

are you going to install some t8 or t5HO uvb in each of the bays ?

[Rustygurl]

It is mesh on the front. My house tends to be quite hot so it helps regulate the temperature.

Will be running t8 uvb and in the corner will be just a heat lamp with a basking spot underneath.

Thank you! Hopefully she gives me some pretty babies
