I am looking to make a new indoor home for my Home's hingebacks. Right now they are in 2' x 4' tables, but I was hoping to go bigger for the new one (they're fully grown, I believe, at 6-7"). Space is a bit limited, so I was considering expanding vertically. However, I really have yet to see anyone who has tried this approach on a grand scale. Any thoughts? Any pictures? ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
To address the most common concerns, hingebacks love humidity so having a partially closed-in basement shouldn't be a problem. Also, as long as I keep the heat sources on the top level, the floor of the top level should be adequate to create a cooler zone beneath it. I have a thermostat I can play with positioning to get the temps right. My hingebacks are also shade lovers, so a nicely shaded level will appeal to them.
