Hiya folks! I went through all the accessories with Squirt’s owner that she’s going to need, barring the viv itself, the beautiful vinyl wall decor @BB123 recommended(thanks for the suggestion! I’ve absolutely fell in love with them and decided when the time comes, as he’s spending on everything else, I’m going to treat him to it myself!😊)and the orchid bark, everything’s pretty much accounted for! We’ll hopefully invest in a Solarmeter down the line too, just don’t want to overwhelm him with that for now with everything else we’re needing, at the end of the day I know she’ll have the right uv, it’ll just be good for him to have in the future when it comes to checking if the uv needs replacing. I’m getting him to invest in at least one smart meter for the upgrade though😊heck I’ll show you all my list😂I’ve ticked a few things off already and he’s said he’ll get ordering this weekend so pretty much everything will be ticked off soon😁
Size wise it’s looking like it’s going to be an 8 by 4, it’s weighing heavy on my mind that her species in all actuality need even bigger than that, so I’m considering, down the line, even if it’s a few years, setting up a ‘grow tent’ style extension she’ll be able to access from the viv, sort of acting like an outdoor area lol, giving her the much needed surface space. For now the logistics of the bedroom she’s going in won’t allow for that, so all in good time. Plus I definitely need to get to grips with the viv set up before even considering taking on that task haha, I’m sure you lovely lot will advise when the time comes😁
In the meantime it’ll be daily walks round with lots of attention and love, I know it’s not 100% ideal, but considering she’s been in a 4 by 2 her whole 16 year life, I think she’s going to be a very happy tort in her upgrade❤️
We’ve got her current enclosure stable environmental wise now, which is a huge relief, least I know she’s more comfortable whilst we get her sorted😊
Thanks to each and every one of you who has followed my journey on here so far, I’m glad things are moving in a positive direction now, I know we’re incredibly nervous about getting it set but I’ll be doing my upmost to assist them every step of the way. I’ll use this thread to keep everyone updated with the upgrade now❤️
Hope everyone’s having a nice weekend so far, all the best😊and sorry if I missed tagging anyone! I’m struggling to keep up with the different user names haha😂
