I didn't know you had a second Ackie! The enclosure looks nice, I did my 3d background with insulation foam and cemented over it. Then painted it with animal safe paint. I only did the background till the ground so my ackie can burrow against the cage all he wants and foam wont get in the way.
See I tried that with 1 sheet of foam as an experiment and the thing is I don't want to make the enclosure to heavy incase I need to move it since it's already quite large. But that method is defently good for a permanent background.
It looks great! I'm fixing to set up a new enclosure for my ackie soon, too. I was thinking of making a retes stack with textured/decorative tiles, and to tier them, like stairs almost. (With all the appropriate safety measures, of course.)
The enclosure looks great, man. I’m thinking of getting a baby ackie in a few months. The only problem is I don’t have an enclosure and all I have is a chameleon cage. I was wondering if I can keep it in there for a little bit at least until I find a cage that’s affordable and available. Or if you know where I can get a cage for a good price. Do you know if a baby ackie will do good in a chameleon cage for the first few months?
I'm seting up a 4X2X2 for a 6 month old male ackie. He will use this for a year before upgrading again. It has a 6" substrate dam, and my question is should that be enough or should I also provide a dig box? Thanks!
Awesome viv thanks for sharing im currently building my viv its 6x4 so high made a big dig box 15" deep substrate as we cant get them deep vivs in the uk im thinking i will need another basking light is your 2nd one the same wattage has the main one?
Love the new setup. Always a treat to see a video with Thunder.
Thank you. More to come.

@@Scales13 haha thats creative

Ackies don't do well in open air cages. I would get the enclosure First.
@@Scales13 Thanks for the info, man. I always want to make sure I’m doing everything right before getting the animal. I’ll be sure to do that.
Great keep me posted

Yes the fixture is the same. I change out the bulbs depending on what time of year it is.
