st louis show
the st louis show in Bridgeton was craptacular as well. It was such a waste of time. The reptiles were like 90% snakes (eww shiver) there was one screen enclosure with about 10 or more chams in it but they all looked meh.
The feeling that you had to buy something hit me too, so I...
ok
thats not the light I am using hehe just had it on there to give me some light. I have a quad bulb T5 HO with 2 5% UVB bulbs and 2 plant bulbs in it as well as it has 2 blue LEDs for simulating dusk and dawn
done deal
that settles it, as soon as this blizzard is over ima get one and take it directly over to home depot to fit a tube to it 8))
wow I think my entire enclosure may be completed with the selection of water reservoir 8))) yippee!
building
I am in the process of finishing my enclosure and one of the last things is the water reservoir. I only have in mind to have one chameleon. with a MistKing hooked up to this going off i believe 3x a day, if it lasts a week that would be superb.
I think I may have found a brilliant idea for my clean water reservoir for my mist king. Brita Ultramax Pitcher. It's rectangle and has a spout I could connect a tube to and the water would always be clean, I wouldnt have to worry about bacteria.

Soooo close!
I am about 2 days from complete on the enclosure I have been working on. I forgot to take pics of the drain but its assembled.completed, hole cut for drain. Only need to come up with tanks I can use that will fit in the bottom for waste drainage and one for clean misting water...
tips

to remove the labels, soak the bottle in water first, then they will scrape off super easily with a credit card.
If you are going to use the small rubber hose like I did, make sure you cut the corners for the access hole wide to allow the hose to seat better. If you...
design change!
Change of plans haha.. used a Snapple bottle because its "made from the best stuff on earth" (hey that's what the bottle says and I am sure bottles cant lie, it's a thing.)
anyway.. 100% silicone and covered it in eco earth (coco fiber) now it will fit right in with the natural...
same thoughts 8)
yea, i was originally thinking the same thing to melt and roll them by using my heat gun, but captain shaky hands (me lol) couldn't quite get that to work well 8)
compilation of ideas... I sliced open a new small rubber hose I had left over from replacing the wiper motor in my BMW for the trim. I saw other cups made but always thought there was a potential of cutting their tongues on the home made ones.
Solution = hotglue + hose 8)
Screened the back and...
