Default Big viv for Bosc!

Just a couple of pics of my Bosc's new viv and him enjoying it!

Pardon the mess, not easy finding space for a viv that size!

TBut in answer to your question there are 2, I at either side of the viv, they are circle of about 8cm diameter each, there is also a 3rd hole which has a mister attached to it which mists automagically when needed.

Apologies if this reply sounded mildly sarcastic.

Cheers

EDIT: Removed sarcastic bit because I felt a bit bad about it........ sorry..... granny suck eggs sort of thing.....

i wasnt trying to find fault with your viv its nice to see you want to care for your bosc for its entire life unlike some people that will buy and then sell them when its time for a new viv so there isnt any need to get funny
i was saying that large vivs need to have good ventaltion allso theres no need for a mister boscs come from the savannah not a rainforest the only time they need misting is if theyre haveing problems with shedding so id trun the 3rd hole in to another vent and keep the mister for something else

once again im not being funny

I've been to the African savannah, and it has a humidity level of about 50% -60% during the day. Its semi arid grasslands for the best part of it (Some really cool photos if anybody is interested?) The viv without it would drop to about 30% so I have it set to 55% as a happy medium.

Cheers

Good job.

There's always going to be someone question what you're doing somehow!

Not me in this case!
