Lola's new home

[ConcinusMan]

The exo terra is very nice but I find that much of it is wasted on vertical space when it comes to garters. It would be much better if it was turned on it's side so that you can place heat emitters and/or basking/florescent lights no more than 18 inches above the substrate. For garters, think big area, low ceiling. Mostly, I buy low profile 10-40 gallon long slide-lock tanks through craigslist, for about a dollar a gallon. Also picked up plenty of dome light fixtures for around $5 each. By far, the most expensive equipment is the bulbs (ceramic heat emitters and basking bulbs) and remote wireless digital thermometers I have.

Very true on the vertical height, however it was cheap and I love the glass, looks fantastic in my living room
For some reason Lola likes to climb everything :/ lol kinda like a small child.
She's already been on the top of the wall and amongst the vines.
Not entirely finished with the set up, going to put some more plants/log things in there so she can climb about with a bit more ease.
Already came with a temperature on the side and ive vertically mounted a heat mat on one of the sides next to her favourite hide but there's really no need to turn that on at present as our house has been so hot lately, averaging 27 degrees!
