I'm toying around with some ideas for revamping the enclosure for Halai, my V. timorensis (timor monitor), and I'd like to hear some feedback.
One thing would be possibly having a larger irregularly shaped water dish at one end with a water pump (I've already got a pump) in it, which would pump water to the other end and flow down as a small stream (about 2 or 3" wide and only an inch or two deep). I feel this would be asthetically pleasing, as well as increase humidity.
Another aspect would be a top to a water trough to actually be the enclosure. I was thinking a section of plexiglass and some screening on a frame of 2x4s how much screen might you recommend for ventilation?
I also would like to put in a good rock pile and use some PVC to have a prefab. subterranian hide, as well as plenty of limbs to climb on and cork tubes as arboreal hides, and a couple hides at ground level.
I'd appretiate any feedback or suggestions you might have. Thanks!
