I only had it in there for a few days until someone pointed out that he may be able to get his head stuck in the rings. He didn't use it while it was in there though.

Thanks Wayne! You're site was such a big help starting out. So much great information in one place.

Interesting development today !
I was working in the enclosure today measuring out everything for the new levels, and the 'little' guy decided to come over and say hi. He crawled on my arm and was trying to jump out of the enclosure . He let me move him back inside the enclosure without getting upset or trying to bite me . I think the extra time I've been spending with him lately is really paying off.
I have to admit I was a bit nervous when he climbed on my arm as I only had the one oven mitt on and no sweater...

Finished adding three more shelves this morning . All that's left to do is change the location of the bulbs at the second basking site, patch up the old holes from the lights, and add the shelf on the second level. I decided not to seal the wood for the shelves- its only cheap OSB board, so if it rots I'll just replace it .
I havn't installed the UV bulb yet since I'm deciding how to make a cage around the tube lights so he can't break them...
I took a video a few minutes ago, but am just waiting for it to upload. I'll post it in a few.

Got a funny video of Toothless eating a gerbil today- they seem to be his favorite type of food. He also let me pet him a few times today- first time EVER by the way .

Few more I took today . He just finished another shed.

I love all his shelves, like he has his own highrise flat to live in (sorry, apartment, not flat :P )

[Toothless]

He uses every inch of the enclosure. He seems to have a favorite shelf though, and I've even caught him sleeping there a few nights. Would like to stick the temp guage there and see what the temp is as he really seems to like it.
He's also been trying to break down the doors lately, so I need to get some heavier duty latches .

haha

mine is always trying to tear the inner wall down, the glue is holding its own tho, he hasnt even made a dent....yet!

[Toothless]

He's ripped up a few of the ladder rungs, but nothing that can't be easily replaced . He likes to do flying jumps off the shelves, and I'm always terrified he's going to hurt himself as he makes quite a racket, but always seems to land on his feet- crazy cat-like creature!!

[Toothless]

I just dumped a few garbage bags full of leaves in the enclosure and Toothless seemed to enjoy rooting through them . The ones from last year were all gone, and he likes to bury himself in them.
He was a tad scared of the big black garbage bags being dumped in the enclosure, but settled own very quickly and never ran away.

Love the videos. He went APE over the gerbil! I so envy those of you with Savs. It's gotta be like having your own 24/7 zoo enclosure. They look so active and interesting to watch.
