Default Phelsuma Enclosure

Here is a picture of a custom made enclosure i built and designed. I made the background with great stuff, im adding more branches and plants as we speak. It currently houses 1.1 Phelsuma Borbonica Agelegae

Nice work. Did you use coco fiber on the background? It looks like real bark, much better than most I've seen. You wouldn't happen to have any P. borbonica mater would you? I'm looking for a male.

Great looking enclosure. Do you know the name of that plant in the bottom of your viv. The one with a yellow stripe running down the leaves? ive had that plant for two years now and its becoming quite large, but ive always wondered and never been able to find the name of it.

thanks for the compliments, i dont happen to have any mater, i have 2.2.3 agelegae though. Thanks for reminding me of those wonderful memories jeff.. i love having friends like you. Ill try and snap some shots of them, its hard to find them in such a big tank though compared to what they were in. As far as the bark is concerned, i did use real bark slabs and just put cocofiber where the pieces wouldnt completely meet. thanks once again guys !!
