Excellent plants suggestions, thank you! I've noted them down and will do some pricing out in the next week or so.
The outdoor enclosure is going to be COMPLETELY enclosed. Even the bottom. It's mostly going to to consist of a pool with water plants and some small land areas in the corners with more plants. The only way in or out will be a locking door. At least, that is the plan. I am doing more research on line. Right now, I want Poe in the house!
How long do you think until his tail will be absorbed? I think it is already smaller, but it may be wishful thinking on my part...
The tail will go away very very quickly once his frogmouth is fully formed. Give it a week, or two, three at the most. Probably closer to the lower end.
