Furnished new enclosure for G. luii

[Tariq Stark]

Hi all,

For Marlies her birthday a gave her two G. luii (and two more are on the way!). The little ones now inhabit a small enclosure. Yesterday I decided to furnish the terrarium were they are going to live in when they get a bit bigger.

The dimensions of this terrarium are 150-60-60 centimeters. The aim was to simulate a rocky, overgrown outcrop. I think it came out pretty nice. There are three plateau's, two big ones and a smaller one. On every big plateau there are several corkbark hides were the animals can take shelter. The plants will give the animal also lots of cover ofcourse. Well enough said, let's look at some pictures (taken by Marlies ofcourse)! The enclosure is much nicer in real life!

Three overall vieuws of the entire terrarium:

The right side of the enclosure. You can see some of the corkbark hides.

The left side, if you look closely you can also see the corkbark hides.

And last but certainly not least, one of the future inhabitants!

Hope you guys like it!

It looks a lot better in real life, and it really is a very nice kick-ass vivarium!
I can't wait till we can add the animals into the mix :mrgreen:

Marlies,

Brilliant design. I think it will be a great home for them. Thanks for the pics. You should post this in the Vivarium section as well so others take a look.



ryan...

just wait bud. I've got some nice designs. I'm working on getting some nice punched screen to use for them too. Might have found a way around the rack system to for heat lights.

Cheers

Hi monkey,

Marlies didn't designed this vivarium, I did. But thank you very much for the compliments! I will post it in the (naturalistic) vivarium- section too. Thanks again for the compliments guys!

I'm looking forward to see pictures of your designs!

tariq, thats funny. I guess I hit two birds with one stone. Wasn't planning on it though. Ryan and I spent a good hour and a half on the telephone discussing the design for his cages. He's looking for something that could be used for a rack system but able to house 12 x 12 x 18 inch enclosures. I'm working on something that will fit for him.

Thats an awesome tank, I like the "classy" look of it! And the contents is not bad either

Today Marlies took some new pictures of the enclosure. Extra plants and moss were addited. A picture doesn't quite capture this (or any for that matter) enclosure but you guys get the idea.

A blooming Fittonia spp

And the whole enclosure

Now that the viv has been in use a little bit it looks even more stunning!

The enclosure gets better and better! Although the pictures are stunning, It's time I'm going to enjoy it in real life.

What I'd like to know is how they use it? Do they seem to spend time with certain things versus other areas. I was thinking of doing osmething similiar, but with some rocky areas. I've noticed especially my females lately are always out on top of things trying to get some warmth from objects.
