In spite of bemused looks from our neighbours who watched us carrying bits of shed into the house, we built this 7'x7' shed in our reptile room this weekend. It's still a work in progress, and we plan to add stuff like fake vegetation, another burrowing area and a larger water tub.

The basking stack is an old Ikea set of shelves which were 'staggered' then screwed to the wall. He has a climbing pole and a hide for burrowing in. We were going to add some rush screening to the walls, but he seems quite happy climbing the walls themselves! Laughing

Looks big enough but for the rest i think it looks a bit boring. Put some natural looking extra in it. And i dont see any big water reservoir in it. How do you keep the RF high enough?
