I got a Zoo-Med enclosure for outside. I filled it with cypress mulch as that seemed to be what everyone recommended. I put in a few live plants (still in their mini containers) and a larger water dish. Put Gypsy in and first thing ran for the Hide.
I came out a few moments later and to my surprise....there was Gypsy outside munching on Elephant Bush (portulaca afra). With a big happy mama sign and smile....I just looked at her and came back inside. The humidity is high here today...expecting rain.
I have her on front porch as that gets the morning sun and then the hotter sun moves back to the west and the porch is then shaded. I will monitor it tomorrow to see exactly how much sunlight it does get to make sure Gypsy gets enough real sunlight.
Does this all seem about right or should I do something different. I am in Central Texas and the weather has been in mid to high 80's in the day and high 60's at night.
