For some reason random nocturnal exhibits around the zoo lately have had their day lights on. Through these three weeks I've seen the Fennec Fox, Fishing Cat, Potto, Eurasian Eagle Owl, and Feather-tail Glider exhibit lights on.

How is this even remotely an adequate exhibit for an arboreal species like a potto? I believe that a potto spends practically its entire life in the rainforest canopy and based strictly on that piece of information I'd ascertain that this enclosure is an absolute disaster for the species.

And the potto here is constantly active in those branches and when Gabriel isn't, he rests in that box. Yes, it is a perfectly adequate exhibit for him.
Snowleopard... seriously, it isn't. Why the unnecessary negativity, again? How many times have you seen this potto active and how he responds to the exhibit?

Nocturnal species always get the short end of the bargain. The fact that the inhabitant is very active (as you've mentioned) should be reason enough for providing more space and climbing structures. Imagine if a saki monkey (or other similar sized primate) were to be kept in an exhibit like this.
