Thought she needed an upgrade so this should do her for a while. It's a 6x3x3 lined with cork bark 33Ltr pool and waterfall

Very nice! Hopefully that lasts her at least 6 more months!

All that for a temporary cage!? That's some serious dedication right there! I need to step my terrarium game up I think.
How old is she? How big? I wanted to take that plunge before I got my Ackie. However living in a metropolitan area doesn't give me a whole lot of room.

Thanks Kyle we'll just upgrade her as she needs it :)

The pool is made from a plastic tub backlit with blue LEDs. There is a stone surround and lid these were cut to size. The stone lid covering the tub is not that heavy so it can be lifted to remove the tub for cleaning.

This was built in a shop I help out at in my spare time which has huge floor space, she's a few months old and would be a few feet in length. If you look you can see her basking underneath the heat light. And although this is her temporary viv when she out grows it the owner will just build something bigger for her and we'll put something into this so it won't go to waste :)

I didn't even notice she was in the picture on the first look. My Vivs look so barren now. Nice job!

Wow nice upgrade Dave!


Thanks Steve but all the credit has to go to Eddie this girls keeper and owner of the shop, he spoils her rotten :)

Quite a nice looking enclosure. Is that a basking area up at the top right too? Have you considered adding a nice deep substrate in your next enclosure? That will help you control your humidity more consistently and give the monitor options in case you have a female.
