...at the two Washies.Thermocube hasn't kicked in at all in 5 or 6 weeks.Either that plug is broken or the 2 rows of leaf-filled bags and insulation are doing their job.Remote therm says its about 6 degrees warmer than outdoor temps.Worried about moisture though:<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8334247505/" title="001 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8353/8334247505_92cf0c81af_c.jpg" width="600" height="800" alt="001"></a>Cut some openings: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8335316708/" title="003 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8216/8335316708_28b4794276_c.jpg" width="600" height="800" alt="003"></a>The only light these have had in 5+ wks is the flash :lol: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8334259041/" title="007 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8357/8334259041_05cece3ea3_c.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="007"></a>Other Washy:<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8335311860/" title="010 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8363/8335311860_8e8e8d5337_c.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="010"></a>Apart from getting suffocated, they look OK.But 3 months to go... :roll: I'm going to buy a box of this vapor-barrier tape, fabulous stuff for plastic.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8334249857/" title="012 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8211/8334249857_4ae50c34f3_c.jpg" width="600" height="800" alt="012"></a>And the 3 yucca rostrata look just like this one; so far so good.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8334252209/" title="009 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8221/8334252209_1317819fd7_c.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="009"></a>Anybody else having a peek at theirs?Barb

I want to peek at my washy in its enclosure so bad but I'll resist the urge. I have almost see through plastic around it the cage and on a nice bright day I can peer in from the outside. So far still green and if I am not mistaken looks like it put on some growth during the winter. I guess its not uncommon since I am sure on a sunny 40F day it can prolly get 30* or more inside of the enclosure. Maybe curiosity will get the best of me and I'll peek.

Take your camera.

Washies don't like cold drafts ... so just a quick peek 😆 😆

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
