Well that could be true for varnish or poly as well, the wood has to be treated so that it's water tight.

That looks pretty good. Nice simple design that I'm sure anyone could build easy. allencg101, crickets munching on what?

Last week I was looking for Ficus trees and couldn't find any at lowes or walmart.

I don't see anything on that page that states that it's a UVB bulb?

Is it possible to grow these inside in a chameleon enclosure? I have a T5HO fixture with 3 grow lights and 1 Arcadia 6%.

200 for a veiled? Isn't that a bit high?

I think I've seen that people have had problems and had to push the reset button on the unit and all was well again.

Would anyone be interested in a how-to on the fiberglass drainage floor? If not then I won't bother taking a ton of pictures of the process, but if someone is then I wouldn't mind doing it and making a separate thread to showcase that process.

Just a note, before you upload pictures if you right click them on your computer there is a "Rotate" option, if you click it to the direction you need to go like the one in your last post needs to go right then they will be right side up when you upload them.

I'm going to get a drain from the hardware store and then use fleece and fiberglass resin to get the basic form of a slopped bottom, then I'm going to use fiberglass mat to build it up some. After that I'll coat it with some epoxy based paint (like they use to refinish bathtubs) and it should be...

That sounds perfect.

Yes its extremely sturdy. If I had used these 3" screws from the start though I would not have had to use the blocks in the corners. Definitely have to pilot drill with screws that long though.

Hah, so far? Probably ~130 or so. It's a big cage though and I used oak wood. You could use poplar or something or pine and spend a lot less. If you aren't worried about how nice the wood is could even use construction grade 2x2's. I'm loving how its turning out though.
