Is this setup ok for a basilisk? Height 4’ Depth 2.5’ Width 3’ Mesh with Plexi sides near the bottom for splashes from water.

I also used opaque plexi to cover the bottom sides because I heard they run into clear sides. It also is splash proof.

95 degree basking spot
82 degree middle of the cage
77 degree bottom of the cage
77 degree water
65-75% humidity
Night Temp. 70-74 degree

Oh, PS the basking light isnt in the pictures it was getting changed out. I will also be adding more plants:) Running UVB 5.0 But ive got 7.0 and 10.0

Thanks
 
It would be a bit small for an adult male but it would work for a juvie for quite a while
 
Ad a plywood platform near the basking spot for the lizard to relax on. Its more confy for the lizard to bask on it.
