More Pics. that I missed

Nice job, looks great! What is in the humid hide?

Its aspen shavings, I wanted to do grass hay, but none of the pet stores in town had it

Hi Angellica:

That's a really nice tort table. I'm glad you weren't able to find hay. You don't want hay in the humid hide because it molds easily.

Since you have a nice, secure hiding place at the end of the habitat, why don't you turn the cave around sideways, pushed up against the wall, and make it a tunnel instead of a cave. It would give you a bit more floor space, and they like to walk through tunnels.

Nice Setup!

wow that table is amazing.... do you happen to have the plans and specs?

Thank you! We put a lot of work into it! But yes, its 5' long x 2' Wide x 10" Deep. The whole thing stands 4'. The Walls and base and stand are all treated hardwood. There is a Plexiglass sheet all along the bottom, with a silicon seal.

I'm glad you said that, it didn't even come to mind! But I can't put the other hid in front of the door way, because Chomper thinks he's half monkey and will climb anything that touches the corner! Once I get some plants going I'll prob take that hide out. But Thank you

No, I didn't mean in front of the other hide's doorway. I meant right there where it is, only turned sideways up against the wall.

Nice.

Very nice set up...

Great enclosure!! I took Yvonne's advice and made my "cave" into a tunnel that leads to the humid hide

Great Idea! He Loves it as a Tunnel!!

Upz for you..

Looks so pretty. I wish my bf could build something like that.
