Being Minnesotans, an indoor enclosure is obviously a must for several months of the year. Right now Odin is just a little fellow (roughly palm sized) and this is his first permanent indoor winter home so it would be great to get tips from more seasoned owners who have built indoor enclosures.
It is 4'x2' with a hanging UVA/UVB & nighttime heat emitter over the loft area. 3 of the substrate inserts are filled with a mix of slightly damp coconut coir/ desert sand mix/a bit of calci sand, and the 4th is two interchangeable gardens. One almost solely grass and the second a little garden of eden with grass, aloe, spider plants, carrot (for the greens) and seeded with marigold, clover and a few others that are escaping me at the moment. (We also have many houseplants, such as hibiscus, geraniums. christmas cactus etc that he adores decimating.)
The ramp is @9" wide x 2' long leading up the the basking area with is only about 6 inches above the substrate so its a nice low grade (with speeds bumps!) With a concrete igloo that we mist to maintain some humidity up there.
Any questions or input would be appreciated. I want this funny little guy to be happy and healthy for a very long time!
