Just got this girl today, she sure is tiny.... Got her set up in her own quarantine enclosure until I feel she's good to mingle with the general public.... Thanks for looking,

bob

here ya go..

sorry,

I just set this one up today, it cost me 30 bucks total.. It is comprised out of a 42 gallon plastic garbage can. I cut a piece of acrylic to fit the top, and cut an 8" hole in the middle to accomodate the suspending bulb which is screwed into the dome lamp which is fastened to the top.

On the inside, I have damp sphagnum moss as a substrate, provide a water bowl, some cork for hides, and I have used a lattice for climbing/access to the basking site. Normally, I would use branches, but I was unable to acquire any in the dark at night... I'll see how the lattice works...

The basking site is about 130 degrees and the floor temp is about 84. Humidity is hovering around 85%, even though I have some holes drilled in the top to allow oxygen exchange...

This is basically the same type of setup I've used, and am currently using form my female boehmei, only this time I opted to go for something more vertically oreinted.

I try to keep it functional, but simple.. Nothing fancy here..

Thanks for looking..

ps: i like your idea about the garbage can, time for mine.

i have never really considered myself a geek until the light bulb went off and realized my life is probably highly similar to Lucas' (don't say you haven't seen the movie)

man, we are like a hundred lucas' talking about our reptiles all day, aint it grand? and if you want to make it even more of a laugh, bob, we breed insects. lol

thought so too
