Got to break it down and set it back up, put some moss over the tray and catch me some lizards

If your yard is anything like mine, you won't have any trouble catching lizards. My cat brings in at least 3 a week!

Thank you. It is much improved. I was suspicious of the lights from the start. I let it go until I had time to remedy the situation. No more outdoor security floods. I pretend I dont know how that was engineered. Im too kind.

now w/ Grow lights. LED 11 w each x 6.
400 -700 nm light spectrum.

they look much happier. we see how much happier

What’s wrong with growing like they’re still in Kansas? Not like they’re indigenous here.
