That's a great picture! Is the bamboo horizontal or vertical?

the bamboo is placed diagonal across the whole enclosure....i had to stretch my arm round several leaves and place the camera lens over the hole at the top part of the bamboo and clicked lol...
this is where the tokays stay all the time...at night they take turns in leaving the bamboo to go outside to get food and do their business.
ive never seen both parents outside the bamboo at the same time,all the time the eggs have been there.
the only egg they are not guarding is the one i took out of the enclosure last month.
