Hi
How big was the one you picture when you got it? I won't go with the lights, I usually take my indoor tropicals out throughout the year as weather permits, it works for me usually.
I have never heard of those peanuts trick, I guess that's to insure good drainage.
Which zone are you in?
Great pics of your giant bird, thanks again.
Patrick
