Odd's new enclosure

[rz1891]

I've had my little Odd for a couple of weeks now, he was kind of unexpected, so has been living temporarily in a plastic crate. Over this weekend my partner and I created his new home. All that is needed now is the hide to be built, thinking that a wooden one will be nice, but might let him keep his temporary pot for a while to see which he prefers. I took some pictures while I was landscaping this morning. I would love to hear any thoughts or feedback you might have. The hide is going to go in the bottom left hand corner and over the top of this end will be a lid about 18" wide to provide shade. We live on the first floor and the balcony gets a lot of sun in the afternoons.

Very nice.
Do I see drain holes at the bottom? I'd love to know more details about that.

Hi, thanks! Odd had a little nibble on the hibiscus, but ignored the spider and aloe. We put drain holes in the bottom as we knew we wanted to plant in it and wanted to ensure that it had a way to drain out if we watered the plants. The whole thing is raised a couple of inches on feet as well so that it can drain if necessary. The rocks and gravel in the bottom are also there to assist with drainage and prevent any swamp like conditions occurring from accidental over-watering.

I started painting the outside of Odd's enclosure to make the garden look nicer. I decided I wanted it to look like you were looking in. I'm really pleased with it, going to do the side at the weekend
