I've always had to line the bottom with plastic cus occasionally I would dump water into the cypress mulch when it dried out under the basking bulb but it started to leak occasionally. Can't wait to ditch that thing and build a huge closed chamber tortoise table at the end of the month
Springtails are a beneficial bug they eat mold and any wasteGeoGpp1012 said:theelectraco said:Along the sides towards the top, and sometimes on the underside of the frame around the wire.

Yea I dump a cup of boiling water once a week...kills off bugs (springtails) as well as getting substrate damp...yea It's good as a starting enclosure but I'm also building a small outdoor enclosure for the summer. Gonna keep this indoor one for another few months. Good luck on building your enclosure! Post some pics when you do I'd love to share ideas.
