The only interaction is from being able to see each other across our basement family room....and they're about 20 feet away from each other. I'd never consider putting them in the same enclosure as they have very different environment needs. Igs need higher humidity and their basking area is not as hot. I have a humidifier pumping into Gandalf's enclosure.

Thanks....but I couldn't do that to the twins. Taking pics is their thing....I don't want them to think I'm trying to compete or be better than them. One of their boyfriends did just that....and it really got to them. He's no longer a boyfriend (but for other *cough*controlling and manipulative*cough* issues). LOL!
Thanks Vesta! Just saw your post. :-[
Small update....
I got a warm mist humidifier for Gandalf's enclosure. Besides what I built for him, it's the best thing I've done, yet. It keeps the top half of his enclosure around 80 percent humidity (where he spends at least 90 percent of his time) and the bottom half in the 50 to 65 percent range without building up any moisture on the walls and such. There's a slight bit of fog on the windows, but not enough to be a cause for concern. They're still very easy to see through.
The warm mist humidifier runs for 4 hours at a time, 3 times a day while lights are on with one hour intervals between the first and second and second and third cycles. His spikes are looking wonderful...with evidence of blood flow in each of them. He's shedding better than ever and looks to be very comfortable.

I didn't realize it was going to make as much difference as it does. I find him hanging out by it a lot. He must be loving the extra humidity. I used to fight just to get it up around 70 percent. Now....it flies right past it and hovers at 80 when the humidifier's running. Overnight, it drops to about 60 to 65 percent up top and around 50 to 60 on bottom. Temps are much easier to maintain as well. I think I got the ventilation set up just right. I tried using an exhaust fan at the top, but it caused the humidity to drop too much. I had to play around with the vent sizes to get it where it is, now.
Hey Craig,
I read that youre a poor poor bachelor this weekend. But if you dont feel up to yet (you know the pain factor and all) how bout the girls taking some updated pics of Gandalf when theyre back ??? Maybe one where you are holding him or something to compare his size to this pic.
I really am fascinated by him. Every time I see your signature on a post, I have to go have a looksie at these ones.

Yeah....poor me! :'( LOL!
I could take some pics of him....that wouldn't be a problem. However, he really doesn't look any different than pics 12-19 on page 1. Have you seen those?
I do have some videos I'd like to post up sometime. Maybe I can work on that this weekend. I think you guys would get a kick out of how he was reacting to my phone. I didn't realize why 'til after recording them. There's a picture of an eagle face on the back of it....he kept shaking his head, standing tall and leaning to one side, backing away and head-bobbing. LOL!
