Ta Da! It's done. Poor Comrad has had a small rubbermaid container as his bedroom until we got the funds to make him a really nice penthouse. That was built and set up yesterday!!!!
He has a basking area (with rocks around to hopefully hold in heat well), a hidey under his basking cause he seemed to like that before. A swimming pool, set up on a tile and surrounded by rocks in the hopes that it will heat up well and hold in the heat too, an upper level that we will put plants on, and underneath that is an area for him to burrow and dig. The whole top is open, and then my husband also put in vent holes above where the substrate stops for more ventilation.
Let us know what you think.
We still need to add plants and seedlings, and change out his regular basking bulb for a UVB one (he's getting sun daily, if not every other day), but for now at least he has more space.
1st pic is of the overall penthouse (without his light, or plants yet)
2nd pic is looking from his raised area towards his basking spot & swimming pool
3rd one is looking from basking spot to his upper level
4th one is a hidey hole UNDER his basking spot
5th picture is of his plaque on his penthouse. This way we don't argue about when we got him (tee hee), and if (God forbid) he ever goes somewhere else he can take his home and they know when we got him and what he had named him
He is happily running around checking out his new digs today.
