Cage update for amusei

So I have improved Amusei's cage quite bit. I put lots of moss and spider plants in there and that has helped keep the humidity nice. Me and my mom went to the lake and picked up some nice drift wood for his cage and it looks very nice. here are some pics, critique always welcome and appreciated.

These are semi-arboreal species. You have a TON of open space near the top of the enclosure. Fill it up!

Re: Cage update for amusei

Barelybreathing is right about using the upper part of cage,bottom is too cluttered.Decoration is nice but not at the expense of useable space for your monitor-to do what you want you'd need a bigger cage in my opinion.It's not easy balancing the two things

Just make sure that whenever you take driftwood you cook it in the oven.

Why???

There is nothing on driftwood that will harm the lizard.

Re: Cage update for amusei

There's good bacteria and bad,the idea is too keep the low bacteria low-you don't need to have a sterile environment.Some bacteria actually breakdown waste and other organic material in the substrate.Access to clean water is the exception.
