Updated Pictures - Irwin's "apartment"

[TSchadel]

I thought I would upload some more pictures of Irwin's new apartment. The other's do not do it justice. It is a very nice set-up that my brother-in-law created for me. It is made with plexiglass. I have 3-4 inches of dirt. Irwin's hide-hut is made from plexiglass too. I ordered a cactus print and it came yesterday so I wanted to show how I used it to enhance Irwin's home The table is 51/2feet X 31/2feet. Irwin is almost 3lbs and is 8inches. He will be 2 years in July. I hope this will keep him through his 3rd birthday - but only time will tell....

Wow looks great. A lot of lights/heating. I wouldn't think you would need that many being in a closed chamber like that.

Well - the one in the middle is a CHE heat only bulb. I also use another low light heat bulb at night. So actually 2 are for night and the other 3 for the day.

You're right, that's a great habitat! Your brother-in-law did an excellent job on it. But I don't think it's going to last until the little, soon to be big, guy's 4th birthday. They grow so fast!

Yes - I expect my lil guy will get to be my big guy before too long. I did put my bro-in-law on notice that he will be needing to design a much bigger apartment in the very near future

Cool setup! I like the Irwin drawing you have on the side of the hut.

Yes they are his! He eats on them and I replace when they are no longer viable! LOL.

Actually - it was a picture I found on the internet. I just put his name on it and printed it out

A lot of thought went into that.

Well you might just be in luck as I think this will be the last winter that Irwin can use it!! He's getting too big. If I can take it apart somehow (because it now has a metal frame around it... and some other new altercations) and ship it to you - it's YOURS when I no longer need it!

No need to make Demo plans so soon ... I made my own closed chamber last a little longer by keeping it as her indoor "night box" once she was big enough to be outside all day. Then I'd just carry her into her old closed chamber for good warm humid night sleeping. -You can still get some longer use out of those nice builds until you set up permanent digs outside and they're too big to carry.
