I have been promising to put some pictures of my new Leo habitat (I dare not call it a cage where the woman can see after all the money I put into it).
The habitat is 15 lbs of Excavator Clay in a 20gL with red LED lighting that's been recessed in the background. Pieces of driftwood and slate sunk into the clay to make a more natural look and give natural burrows. I will be putting up a review of the excavator clay up soon, since everyone has "not used it, but heard bad things". My overall experience: the only bad thing is the price. Once dry, this stuff is rock hard, and what doesn't adhese makes large enough clumps that they couldn't possibly eat it on accident.
The first 2 pics I tried to show actual lighting, which was a little hard since I don't have any external flashes or diffusers anymore. So I had to go at it with room lighting.
and yes, I got one of those foam burrows, makes a great moist hide. This is the only thing I still have to do is add a heat pad underneath that part only to help with humidity (stuff with moss)
Full frontal action
recessed the bowls in there so they're not as visible. I have extra small cups I put the worms in to I can add them and take them out. The leo's already love the site of the bowls.
buried driftwood=great burrow
cool hides, might need to get a bigger heat element as they don't venture over here much except when hunting crix.
Lit up shot of the whole thing.
It may not be the best, but I like it... and so do my Leo's!
Let's hear what you think.
