New Photos of my big guy

Snapped these the other day of Toothless. I'm in the process of adding another two levels to the enclosure, changing the second basking spot, and adding UVB.

LOL- Good idea!
It doesn't help that the doors are padlocked, and there's a CAUTION sign on the door (just incase repair men have to come in while I'm out- some people are nosey).

Re: New Photos of my big guy

Just a few more photos I took today when I added his weekly roaches (I usually throw in about 50-100 every week and just let him forage for them). I think adding some fresh moss from outside every once in a while provides quite a bit of enrichment. The roaches hide inside the moss and it takes him a good few hours to shred the moss and extract the roaches.
Still havn't seen him use his new burrow though. I think I'll throw a gerbil in there tomorrow while he's watching- might make him go in there and explore!

Re: New Photos of my big guy

He does look pretty prehistoric doesn't he . I think it may be due to his very angular face. Kinda reminds me of one of those velosorapture thingys.

I have a 4 x 4 dig box for him with a foot and a half of soil since I'm on the second floor in my building so needed to watch the weight. The humidity stays constant at between 60-90% depending on where in the cage its measured from. I water the soil a few times a month.
The owner of the building stopped by today to look at my fridge and loved the enclosure .

seems like a sensible compromise! i'm having to compromise on my Savs digging options aswell until I move house, I'm wondering, as its quite a busy interior, does he burrow, or use other areas to sleep?

also have you had him since being a hatchling?
