Well I haven't really posted much on here since i joined.. im sorta new to the site.....
figured id post about my second viv...
my first one was a smaller 18X18X18 but I wanted something alot bigger so I got a 18X24X36 and build a total new viv for all my Herbs to live in!!!
my second viv has been doing quite well, its been doing good for 6 months now and all my herbs are happy together since they all lived in my smaller viv... i just added two retf's 2 1/2 weeks ago and they love it so i now have 1 Female RETF (Sophia), 1 Male RETF (Ted -- weird cuz i just noticed someone else on here has a male retf named ted lol), 1 Male WTF (Chubby Chuck), 2 FBT (not sure of there sex i think its a male and a female but im not sure how to sex fbt's & i never did name them), 2 Asian Long Tailed Grass Lizards (Also not sure of there sex & also never gave them names)
I have added some things to my viv in the past 2 weeks but didnt take pictures of the new work ive done i will try to take some updated pics of what i added.... i added some moss and a few new plants and last night went shopping and then came home and built a stream that goes from the back of the one side and comes down on an angle towards the front and across the front a lil and dumps into the main water pool!!!
I will post some pics right of my viv before i added the new things.... when i get home later ill try to take and post some updated pics....
the only prob ive ever had with my mixed species viv is that Chubby Chuck once attempted to eat one on my long tails but the long tail got out of his mouth and ran to the top and across the tank lol but that may be my fault for taking away his hiding spot by filling the ledge at the top of the backround with dried spagnum moss... so he didnt have his normal sleeping spot but i gave him/her back the spot so he/she can sleep there again!!!
and since that one almost bad experience chuck has been a good boy and doesnt attempt to eat his cage mates plus they stay away from him now lol..
and yes i know some of you on here are totaly against mixed vivs but i have had success with this and hope it will stay that way lol
ok im gonna post older pics of my viv now.... and later today ill get some updated pics for you guys and gals!!!
i am useing an untrasonic fogger to keep the humidity up... its hooked to an automatic controler that turns it on when humidity drops to 70 and turns it off when it reaches 80 again... it hardly runs tho because humidity stays pretty good in my viv... i keep the fogger hidden under my viv with a tube running up behind and attached to the top of my viv
this is showing the air circluator i built... it is pvc with a small computer fan attached in-line inside on the end over the pond... id draws air from the right side of my tank and blows it out on the left side towards the back so its a constant air movement.... i also have an air pump that pumps fresh air threw an airstone bubbleing up threw the water... and a second tube just blowing in on the right back of the viv... since i added this circulation fan the humidity has been holding great!!!!
my 2nd mixed viv!!! Doing great!!!
