Ackie or Savannah?


Simplicity - Lots of dirt, some plywood and a small water dish.

I don't know that the same setup would work for both. Sometimes the same setup doesn't seem to work with two individuals of the same species (I have seen this to a bigger degree on the peachies, don't know why).

Both I am looking at pictures of both set ups because I am in the market for both kinds. I will house them seperately of course!

For substrate I use cypress mulch I have about 12 inches in there right now, Im gonna add another 6-8 today. I used 1932 plywood and 2x4s. I have the bottom lined with a plastic liner to avoid rot. I used waterproofing sealer thompsons and severe weather. Went overboard and used about 4 coats. All of the enclosure is sealed with GE silicone.also placed wheels in the bottom for easier transportin g.As for the inside I will add more tight hidespots, a couple hollow logs and some big branches.
