Hey there.
We got a new pet. Her name is Cleo (We think she’s a girl) she’s bonded really well with us. Wife kinda hit me with it and I don’t know much about these animals.
I’ve been researching and I had a few questions…
We had a wire mesh too and I learned that we need a closed tank, so I closed the wire mesh with an acrylic plate… but now we aren’t sure how she’ll get some fresh air in there. Should I drill some holes in the acrylic so some air can get in?? I have a laser cutter so I can cut holes in. Acrylic plate no problem.
Also will be purchasing a uvb t5 ho 10.0 lamp. That will be installed on. Underside of the acrylic (so it’ll be inside). I don’t think uvb rays can get across the acrylic
For heat/lighting we’re using an Amazon reptile light kit that keeps it around 80 to 85 degrees. Some people here said ceramic heat bulb but I don’t see the point since the tank is at 80-85… that shines above the acrylic.
Lastly humidity. Trying to figure out a cost effective way to keep that at around 70%
Any suggestions for anything?
He seems to be super happy and loves interacting with us.
