update on the enclosure

asia2003 Aug 13, 2003 10:52 AM

Ok, so the room is all cleaned out, will have plywood walls all the way around, which I am going to paint with a washable paint, to make cleanups easier, am also going to create a waterfall into a shallow pool in one corner for him to soak in...btw, how deep should it be/or not be?? Cypress mulch throughout for digging, a nice sized hide, and I bought a big piece of slate rock for basking. Am going to wait until the expo in Daytona for food dishes, and smaller things for the interior though. Will take some pics, and keep you all posted...

How does that sound? I feel like I am missing something, just want it to be perfect...although knowing me, he will probably spend his first night in my bedroom with me

A basking slab?
I use regular flat plates...I was using bowls but it was easier for them to walk over and eat from a plate. Just my thing.
Nico went wild this morning when I was not there to let him out....and broke out of his cage
I'm thinking of leaving them in the bathroom for the duration of the expo so the sitter won't have any problems.
What do you do with Asia when you go away?

Nicole.

I had my kids babysitter come over and take care of asia when we went away. This past weekend was the first time I have ever left her for any period of time, and I was a nervous wreck, but she was fine. I fed her 2 pinkies before we left on Friday afternoon, and she didnt feel much like eating until sunday evening when she ate a few supers.
