All together it took me about 5 days of biulding and painting to make the cage and a day to decorate it I spent between 250-300 on all the materials and plants but I still need more vines and a mister system. And I could keep going on and on about ways I can add to or make the setup more...
I have a 2.5 foot palm tree in the back left and plan on adding more branches and vines at the top for climbing he is still pretty small. At last weigh in he was 9.5 grams
I got a sheet of styrofoam from home depot and trimmed it to fit and then took the scraps and sliced them into long thin pieces and glued them to the sheet of foam to make the bricks. Then coated the whole thing in non sanded tile grout in several coats and let it fully dry then painted it and...
Hey all finally finished my enclosure build the dimensions are 2ftx2ftx7.5ft the cage portion is 4 ft tall. I made cabinets on top and bottom to conceal lights and drainage. There are 5 live plants 18 feet of fake vine and 12 ft of homemade jungle vine. I carved and coated the background myself...
That enclosure is absolutely impressive. Is everything controlled by an arduino board and for the dimming lights did you have to program that yourself or was it a pre made controller. As far as extra lights go I have a 16ft led strip that will be mounted to the top of the enclosure along with...
I have been to several local home depot type stores looking for screen identical to what is used in a repti breeze. I am pretty sure it's pvc coated metal. Does anyone know where to get the same screen they use and perhaps how much a roll of it costs
I fully agree these were just ideas being throw around by a friend and I I doubt the final outcome will be anywhere ear that elaborate. More than likely i will end up with sunrise sunset dimmers and a cloud effect for when mister come on.
I thought the lightning would be a little much but he told me he can add the thunder effects and also told me I can remote control the entire setup from my tablet (SWEET) and can also be linked to a weather app to recreate the weather conditions of anywhere I select. So for example if i set it...
Does anyone use a fully automated system. My buddy just stopped by and told me he can help me build a fully automated cage setup including simulated weather. Does anyone else use something similar???
Does anyone run simulated weather in their enclosure. By this I mean lights and misters or rain systems linked together so before misters kick on the lights slightly dim out like clouds rolling over and bring them back up after like the sky is clearing out all of this being controlled by an...
My humidity stays at a pretty constant 50% and I do use a dripper. And he is in an all screen cage so the fog hardly sticks around. I have only turned on the fogger for a few mins at a time but he got quite upset with it so I stopped using it
