Hi Everyone! I was told I should introduce myself and Boris He’s come a long way since I started helping him. Please don’t judge as I’m step by step providing him with what he needs. He’s in an office situation, and hasn’t had an ideal set up.
I’m currently working on building a “table” out of a toy box. I’ve got a few questions too. I know the space isn’t “ideal, but it’s what I can do right now. He’ll be moving from a 40 gallon tank into a two tiered 3x2 home. The second tier being a loft he can climb up to for basking. I’m so excited for him to have some space to turn around and climb.
Now for questions: I see tables with such low edges. How much do I need to worry about him climbing or falling. I hear they are escape artists, but then see them in tables with a 2 inch ledge. My instincts are leaning towards a least an 8 inch wall so he can’t climb out, or fall off his platform.
Other question is how high does the hide area under the stairs need to be? He’ll bask on top and have a house with two openings below. I think….
