Probably not the kind of expert breeding setup you're looking for, but here's how I've been housing my young jani.







Sterilite bin with ample ventilation on the sides and top. A wire mesh vent in the lid is held on with some flat L-shaped braces, screwed down with all the hardware outside of the cage. As an added security measure, small wood clamps help hold the lid down . Occasionally she makes use of the branches, but as expected they don't get much traffic.



Temps are regulated by a small heat pad under the tub below the light, with the light on only a few hours a day (probably not necessary, but she does bask occasionally). Temps under the hides (usually covered with aspen) range over the 70s on the cool end of the cage, 75 into the upper 80s on the warm end. I went a little overboard with monitoring temps (two thermometers keep track of temps outside the cage, on the warm end, and on the cool end) but better safe than sorry I suppose.
