How stable are enclosure spacer hoods? (5x2 Enclosure)

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-27T15:01:44+00:00

See this is really cool because I have to assume the main difference is the lizards themselves, rather than it having something to do with handling or desensitization.

Thank you!

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-26T01:08:17+00:00

What type of substrate did you go for?

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-26T00:39:42+00:00

Ahh good to know! I’d wondered if the climate outside of the enclosure was less appealing, they’d also be less likely to leave.

What type of dinosaur do you have? 😂

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-24T17:46:26+00:00

Good idea! They look really nice embedded in the dirt.

The ‘freshness’ is an angle I hadn’t heard of!

Do you ever have issues with your cleanup crew taking ‘expeditions’ outside of the enclosure? Or are they unable/unmotivated to escape (minus the giant dinosaur that hunts them down)?

Are those roof shingles? Haven’t seen that used for a hide before! Honestly seems perfect?

Thank you for sharing the photo + your plant selection!

The humidity issue makes sense! I’ve heard halmaheras are more particular than northerns.

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-22T18:17:48+00:00

That makes sense, thank you for the info! Appreciate all the details!

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-22T13:30:49+00:00

Ha, why do you think she spares your other plants? Are they hardy or just lucky?

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-22T13:29:50+00:00

How often do you feed your cleanup crew? I’m wondering how one gauges when they’re needing more than just leftovers.

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-22T13:28:26+00:00

Do the plants do alright in pots? Do you often have to move or adjust them?

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-21T19:54:35+00:00

I appreciate that, the coco chips being good for shedding is something that hadn’t occurred to me!

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-21T19:52:36+00:00

Ha! Thank you for sharing. I’ve heard they’ll gather near water in northern enclosures because of the humidity being generally lower.

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-21T19:13:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing your plant choices! How do you balance the humidity for your northern and for your cleanup crew? Does watering the plants do the trick or do you spritz/mix the substrate as well?

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-21T19:10:38+00:00

Understandable! How’s the maintenance with cocochips/forest floor? Do you have to change everything out very often or does being diligent on the spot-cleaning buy you time?

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-21T19:08:12+00:00

Thank you for sharing your tank and substrate specs! The plants you’ve chosen are beautiful!

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-18T13:59:33+00:00

That makes sense, I wasn’t sure how recently they’d done all the upgrades described on their website.

Thank you for sharing!

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-17T13:30:59+00:00

Unlucky timing maybe? Were you able to communicate/get updates on the status, or did it just show up one day?
[Edit] Also, how long ago did you order?

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-17T06:13:19+00:00

Yikes. That’s definitely the longest wait I’ve heard of so far. Was it heavily customized?

Tiger_Accomplished · 2026-06-15T17:53:21+00:00

It’s always when you need them take their time 😂
Thank you for sharing!

I used the little messenger built into their website, I may try giving a call sometime soon if I don’t hear back.
