So a few people did ask me what I have done to prepare for my new hatchling when it arrives, so here it is.

I have been using this off time wisely (I hope)

I wired in a GFI to prevent any issues with humidity and electricity..



Applied 5 coats of wood sealer to all the untreated plywood to prevent mold.



I dumped in some forest floor.



I made this basking platform with a ramp & put in the half log hide..



The funny colour is the light reflecting off the water..



Burrow opening... there are two.







top reading Ambient, middle is Basking, Bottom humidity.



I used 2 bags of carpentry grade hot glue sticks to seal this cage up tight, installed rubber weather strips around the door.

The entire enclosure is double wall with insulation to keep it temp stable..





Now it's just a waiting game for the eggs to hatch and my new baby sav can move in.

Meanwhile, I have been checking on the humidity and temps every day to ensure stability within.

Thanks for looking....
