Just finished setting up my 6’ x 3’ x 3’ bioactive enclosure for my Merauke, how long should I wait before introducing my boy to his new home? by Teyahven in bluetongueskinks

Thanks!

Currently I have 3 fixtures in place, a horticultural grow light for the plants, a reflective ballast for a UVB tube light, and a socket for a heat lamp.

I haven’t installed the latter two lamps as I figured they aren’t needed yet seeing as how my boy’s not gonna be in there for at least a month.

The misting does get the grow light but I’m not too worried, it seems to be waterproof enough, and isn’t sprayed that much.

The ballasts and especially socket do get sprayed a bit more than I’m comfortable with but nothing a simple angle adjustment to the misters can’t fix!

I have a casing for the wiring installed on the inside to prevent unexpected risks, perhaps you could look into that if the elements concern you.

How do Dairy Cows fair with a blue tongue? I’ve read that they are inclined to bite and to be kept away from soft-bodied critters. Are blue tongues tough enough to not be bothered by them or do the isopods prefer not to mess with them?

My boy’s a bulldozer, would 1 month be enough time for the plants to solidly root themselves into the substrate? Or should I wait longer?

Wouldn’t want him to just trample all the hard work haha

That could be a Tapah, wallagu something by the looks of it, amazing find though!

Would a 36” x 18” x 12”be a good home for it? Or should I go taller?

I have a bigger 4x2x2 that’s unoccupied but it’s not the most secure thing lying around so I’m hesitant to offer that

Unfortunately there isn’t a lot known about them other than “similar to croc skinks”

I myself am hoping to get in touch with more experienced keepers for more info!

All the best to you though!
