The dragons keep

Alex's keep in her castle

Even with the new basking light adjusted up, that hunk of jadeite just holds heat. Added the cover to keep her safe. It's still a safe temp, but it can spike when the house is warmer.

Being covered / built up like this kind of acts like a burrow under a tree stump for her. Soon as I set that up she abandoned her tree bed

That is a really cool idea and looks great too!

The bark is old Douglas fir (Repti-bark is made from it) It's a great surface, but even old pieces will release a little old sap if it gets hot enough, like a basking spot. A good baking on low solves it.

Had to stop for a bit due to weather / allow more soft wood to appear, but currently dismantling a couple stumps for another project. Going to have pieces large enough to cover a corner or side wall

*GO AWAY SMELLEEEIIIIIINGLISHMAN!*

Hello,

That is really a great setup, she looks super comfy in there, too. She is gorgeous!

Cool Mine sleeps in the same position (in a burrow behind a plant and under a climbing structure, but basically... that's the same: curled up in a corner under and behind something).

I guess this makes them feel protected and safe. I have read in nature during night they squeeze in between stones and then puff up a bit to make it harder for predators to pull them out. I always compare it to some of our own human behaviors that by instinct make feel us comfy, protected and safe.
