    Love the new setup. Always a treat to see a video with Thunder.

    I'm seting up a 4X2X2 for a 6 month old male ackie. He will use this for a year before upgrading again. It has a 6" substrate dam, and my question is should that be enough or should I also provide a dig box?
    Thanks!

    I didn't know you had a second Ackie! The enclosure looks nice, I did my 3d background with insulation foam and cemented over it. Then painted it with animal safe paint. I only did the background till the ground so my ackie can burrow against the cage all he wants and foam wont get in the way.

      See I tried that with 1 sheet of foam as an experiment and the thing is I don't want to make the enclosure to heavy incase I need to move it since it's already quite large. But that method is defently good for a permanent background.

      @@Scales13 It does make the enclosure heavy yea lol, but I see my ackie climbing it all the time like a little gecko

    The enclosure looks great, man. I’m thinking of getting a baby ackie in a few months. The only problem is I don’t have an enclosure and all I have is a chameleon cage. I was wondering if I can keep it in there for a little bit at least until I find a cage that’s affordable and available. Or if you know where I can get a cage for a good price. Do you know if a baby ackie will do good in a chameleon cage for the first few months?

      Ackies don't do well in open air cages. I would get the enclosure First.

    It looks great! I'm fixing to set up a new enclosure for my ackie soon, too. I was thinking of making a retes stack with textured/decorative tiles, and to tier them, like stairs almost. (With all the appropriate safety measures, of course.)

      Yes the fixture is the same. I change out the bulbs depending on what time of year it is.
