Well nice, what a great addition for your herp room!

You have some unusual stuff Scott! Nice pics.

Save the bat guano! Good for the garden!

The word guano originated from the Quichua language of the Inca civilization and means "the droppings of sea birds". It is a misnomer to refer to bat dung as guano. As the word is used today, guano describes both bat and sea bird manure. The most famous guano was that used by the Inca. The guano would collect on the rainless islands and coast of Peru. Atmospheric conditions insured a minimal loss of nutrients. There is very little leaching of valuable material, nor is there a considerable loss of nitrogenous matter. For this the Inca would guard and regulate the treasured soil enricher. Access to the guano deposits were restricted to chosen caretakers. Disrupting the rookeries could result in punishment by death.

Great place to keep them Scott . Good bit of thinking on your part. How big is the room if you don`t mind me asking? Do they use the space available for flying?

You are on your way to an eco-system what with fruit bats, free range phelsumas and insects. Laughing

Ive never been sure about the whole free roaming thing, I mean Im sure its fine, just I would always be worried about them!

Do they spend most of thir time above the sink then? They are obviously very cute, just fascinates me the way they are kept Smile
