She finally has her new enclosure... Although not really what I planned It appears to work great so far and she seems happy.
After several attempts to go and get the supplies for a wooden enclosure, I figured might as well see if I can house her in something larger for a bit until we can get everything together and build it.
Well during this process of finding a temporary enclosure I stumbled across grow tents, looked at a few sizes after researching as much as I could about them being used as a lizard enclosure and then saw that there was a grow tent that was basically the perfect size, 8x4x6.
After doing more research and talking to my parents I decided to get it.
So far we've had it up for a day and a half. It seems to hold the temps and humidity pretty well.
It's not the prettiest thing but it works and I like it, although there is still much more that needs to be done.
Not being able to really see her unless I open the doors sucks but I plan to get some sort of camera that I can put in the corner of the tent so that I can watch her.
Other than adding a camera inside the tent I'm going to get a 46" Arcadia 14% UVB bulb and hang it inside on the cool side, possibly some large ferns, more logs, a larger water bowl so she can also soak if she wants, and maybe a humidifier if I need one.
Also going to be rearranging the basking lights today (which consist of two halogen bulbs and a megaray).
Also heres a link to a video of her exploring the enclosure.
