Posted by: terryo at Mon Feb 8 22:41:17 2010 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by terryo ] My boxies are outside, but I don't put them out until they are three or four years old. While they are inside for the winter, I keep them in a planted vivarium. 75 gal tank. I use a mix of soil and peat moss. On top of that I put a bit of forest floor by zoo med. around the water dish I put moss or flat rocks. I use a screen top to filter the light. On one end I make a whole for a heat emitter (100 wt) on the other end is a long tube UVB 10.0 light (fixture for a 20 gal) The heat emitter is on 24/7 and the light goes off at night. I don't use a hide, only leaf litter on one side. I use pothos, creeping jenny, and any small tropical house plant. I just bury the plants in their little pots, and water them twice a week and mist them every AM. I throw in a bunch of worms in the leaf litter and some pill bugs so they always have something to search for. [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Show Entire Thread ] | ||
