Obligatory "she is LEASHED and I am holding onto it just a few inches from her body so she can't jump, this was only for a quick photo op, I never put her on the ground or anywhere she could come into close contact with avian germs, we had a carrier on standby in case she got spooked/there were birds," etc etc. I sent the photos to the reptile rescue we got her from (shout out to Creepy Critters Rescue in Los Banos, CA) and they loved it!
Ignore the mess, things have been busy 🤫 The plants are actual Australian natives from the Pogona genus's range, and so are the DISINFECTED(!!) logs and leaf litter (everyone salute your local arboretum)! Tank is 6 ft × 18 in × 24 in. She's a rescue from a hoarding/neglect situation, so I wanted to give her as much room as I could. She's on a substrate of mostly potting soil mixed with some orange sand for a more arid look. Her temps are usually around 80-85F on the hot side and maybe 70-65 on the cool one, with a toasty ~120F (surface temp) basking spot and nightly temperature drops of 10-20 degrees. (ceramic heat emitter still on so it doesn't drop below 65, since we're by the beach and it can get chilly). I did a LOT of research on Australian ecology for this one and I'm quite happy with it. Any ideas for improvements?
