[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 1799962, member: 76248"] Went to Omaha zoo again a couple of weekends back. Paid my usual visit to the bearded dragon display. They had a single leatherback in the enclosure. Based on memory, it didn't have many changes since the last visit. I was able to pay closer attention to the setup since my last visit due to learning so much more over the last few years. It's built into a wall that juts out so it's tough to get close or get details about it. It is approximately 4'x4'x5' with some branches criss crossed and a loose gravel substrate that may be some kind of bioactive but it just looked like dry pebbles and I didn't see much leaf litter, sand, or dirt. The lighting is a flood light and what looked like an MVB but I couldn't see details. I wasn't sure about the output but I'm guessing it's a higher wattage bulb producing a small basking area high up and a lower, cooler basking spot at the base of the branches. It didn't seem like as much coverage as I would provide in an enclosure that big. Certainly no good for two dragons (they had 2 years back) The dragon seemed OK but apathetic. It was near the end of the day though so probably just tired. I could hear crickets that were left in the enclosure and there was a salad in the corner. I wish I could have spoken with one of the caregivers to get more info, but there were no zoo employees to be found which is the same as on previous visits unfortunately.
