Moved the viv to it's final resting place today, allwoing me to add substrate and see what Jo-jo looks like in the viv. I haven't added the heating and lighting yet, and still need to get glass and runners, but thought I'd share what it will look like when its finished!


Here we go...

whole viv



on the tree



in the cave




Hope you like - I think Jo-jo looks like he/she'll be very happy in here!

Cheers

Andy

Yeah - I've gone for a sort of bio-active substrate which is a compost/bug-bed/dendrosoil/sand/fine gravel mix which is a bit of an experiment and I happened to have a few oak leaves left over from my dendrobates viv build so I scattered those around to finish the effect. Just need to add her/his waterbowl and obviously the ceramic, UV and roof!

(Jo-jo has been returned to her current viv until this one has been finished!)

Cheers

Andy

It looks really good with the leaves. Tried the same sort of thing with our beardie only with bamboo leaves from the back garden. Boiled them for an hour and dried them out for a week or so. Beardie started to eat them and we took it all. Was worried it maybe harmful but didn't know and didn't want to take the risk

But it looked really well mixed with the substrate
