    My First Baby Russian Enclosure

    Worked on his enclosure today duh a more proper hide keeping it most and sifted the larger coconut fibers out of the substrate. Trying to maximize the amount of space it has to roam digging the hide was a better idea.

    My First Baby Russian Enclosure

    Thanks for the safety tip. So the lamp is okay to use just not the CLamp to hold it. I'll use zip ties and such to make sure it is secured properly.
