New Enclosure for Frilled neck Lizards

[Josch]

Hi guys,

that`s my old enclosure for Frilled neck Lizards late in the 90ies:

Since summer 2015 I have again four young frillies and are now building a new terrarium, see the next post .............

Looking good, Josch!

The back walls were painted with a water-repellent paint. The tree trunks I'll screw tight at the weekend

I will continue to report ...............

Awesome enclosure Josch! Looks like your frillies are in for a treat! I hope it looks as good as your Kimberley rock monitor enclosure!

 

[Stuart]

Awesome setup!

 

[Josch]

Thanks guys, your feedback is welcome!
[MENTION=41799]BredliFreak[/MENTION]: I dont understand the sentence "Looks like your frillies are in for a treat!". Sorry for my bad English.

Next step:

That is awesome, great work

 

[BredliFreak]

Looking good Josch! "Your Frillies are in for a treat" essentially means they are going to love their new home.

 

[Josch]

Thanks BredliFreak and Murph.



The next step is to refine the artificial habitat with stones, roots, and much more sand.

Well done, Josch! Great job on the enclosure. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Josch]

The animals have acclimated. Here a little film of the feeding:

update:

after almost half a year:





The plants grow well and I hope that in another six months the impression of a natural habitat has arisen.

Great work Jochen. The Ficus clearly likes the enclosure too! Live plants help to keep the air clean and fresh, and help to make enclosures smell very natural.

Excellent work!

 

[Murph_BTK]

That is ridiculous how great that looks!!

 

[Josch]

Thanks guys,

yes Jamie plants are a must in my terrariums. Good microclimate and variety for the lizards. I watch the frillies repeatedly when feed from earth an rotted or dry leaves.
