Hello, I am making a tank for my new leo and I have a water bowl that is a oval, one half is 3in in radius and about 1in in radius on the other half with 1in in depth filled with water. A seashell cup(like what mermaids wear) for dry food behide a slate rook against a corner. A cave that is supposed be for fish with fake leaves on top for a hide box. Also a couple of sticks to climb on for exercise. But I can't think of a humidity box
(I can't make room for it either). Any suggestions?

Thanx

A humid hide could be made easily out of a turpperware container with a lid, just cut a hole in the side for him to get in (use a lighter to smooth the hole where you cut so there's no jagged edges, it only takes a quick second,otherwise yu'll melt it and burn it and it will look like crap ) And remeber to put the humid hide on the warm side so it's actually humid, and not just a "wet" hide, which can actually be quite cold for him.
As for the sticks, what size are they? Leos are not aboreal so they don't need sticks for climbing up, and he could fall, but bigger ones that are thick enough for him to easily walk on will be ok (don't make them too high, as he could fall off). Try rocks or similar things instead, you can buy rocks, find rocks, or even make fake rocks easily. And the rocks will look more natural.
