Wow, the pen looks fantastic, lots of thought has obviously gone into that.
:-D
I understand that the heat from the lamp shoub be 80-82 degrees farenheit, with an obvious cooler area that he/ she can wander into.
Id use a 160w powersun heat and uv in one or a megaray which can be purchased from kimbos reptiles. :)
Looking good Lukey :-D

Oh they love it, they run around like mad also noticed they are growing faster and putting on more weight....they have dug a little but only under their log hide, they have dug it down to hide in. They really like their house too.....although have had the wooden lid in lately so as not to cook them. Terry the Leopard just loves sunning himself for mos of the day then we have to find what shaded area he has found to hide in as he has the run of the whole garden.

That's looking good Lukey. Those plants will be established in no time at all, so long as they don't get eaten or bulldozed!!!Image
