My new Mali has arrived!

dragonmlv Nov 06, 2003 06:50 AM

Hi everyone,
Well, my new female mali from Deerfern farms arrived yesterday. Since she has a bright orange stripe on her back (anyone have an orange mali?) I named her Pumpkin. After being introduced, Draco and Pumpkin went into their brand new 4' x 2' x 1.5' cage. The two seem to love each other and follow each other around exploring. The cage is still a bit bare however, since it is so big. I would like to get some more decorations...can anyone tell me (and post pics if you have them) about their uro's favorite decor so I can try it? Also, I have 2 150W floodlights on one half of the tank, and a 4' uvb light running the whole length (i know it doesn't give heat) The temps are a little low however. It reaches 120F in the basking spot, but the air temp on the warm side is only 90ish and on the cool side about 75ish. Should/how can I make it warmer? I'll post some pics of the "finished" tank with Draco and Pumpkin so everyone can see. Thanks.

Here's Ra's tank and all his "toys". I think he likes the pagoda rock the best because he's always climbing it and using it as his den that he dug out himself (he's on it in the pic). He uses the hammock now and then. I'm looking for a Prickly Pear cactus to put in his tank (with the spines removed). Eating and destroying cacti is one of his favourite hobbies

Good luck with your new addition
