hey all, i hope this is the area to post this as it is DIY. I love to keep my animals outdoors in the summer so I save on electricity and bulbs.
If you're interested in outdoor enclosures here's some info:
the round raised gardenbed cost $400 my bonded pair are happy in it....not sure if you can house even more.
we found the rectangular garage shelf at a green shed for $20, took out the back of it and left the middle shelf. It houses two in the left and a very grumpy blue tongue skink who doesn't like anyone living with him.
asian dollar stores/charity stores are my favorite place to find fake plants
the PVC pipes in each enclosure are meant for enrichment, I fill the pipes with dirt and the shinglebacks absolutely love to dig into them. the cinderblocks are used for housing food (keeps the rain out) i also have ant bait around the tanks, but ants are still a huge issue!
I would love any tips or experiences related to keeping lizards outside...they also sleep outside and its a bit worrying because of cats (we have no fox problems here) But are cats still able to kill adult skinks?
i also bring them inside when its raining or way too cold so to not have respiratory issues.
Thanks for the look!
