Update

 

[ChamFreak]

Building door on right side, left side left ledge to hang branches or plants. Screen will be put on top. I will put a trim to cover work. Its taking shape. Next will be filling in the cracks on back walls (I tried great stuff and tried silicones but it ran) I am thinking of using spackling to seal it and then putting water proof coating on it. Ideas?????? Then I will be starting pluming and painting the inside

I used that on the cracks already and put like 6 coats and everyone seems to think it will mold and rot so I went ahead and got spackling and I will fill it and seal it with flex seal and then paint it.. I am not sure how it will turn out but we will see

A bit of an update, life can whoop ya. I travel a lot and before I knew it my little man was ready for his new home. I however was not. I wasn’t able to fully complete my setup and I plan to make the last push to comple the outside framing and drainage along with my mist kit. I wanted to let him settle in for a couple of weeks and I will install the drain, mist kit and complete the outside.

With a huge welcome I feel I got a stunner from chromatic Chameleons (btw they are amazing in every aspect) I picked up a baby from there famous Neptune ambanja. We are very excited and look forward to finish this project. I am not savvy with this stuff but I did the very best I could

2 questions, one for safety, one for aesthetics.

-why is there a light on the inside? Guaranteed to end in thermal burns. Some pics show it, some don’t.

-why put staples on the outside?

He’s a stunner!

I am using infared basking bulb. Cold to touch. The staples well it was the best way I knew how to do. It will be covered up when we put trim on it

Watching this for sure. Can't wait to see what you do!

That makes no sense. How can it be s basking bulb if it’s cold?

 

[ChamFreak]

It’s a new technology that heats infared . Warms animals but uses the infared

 

[ChamFreak]

It gets hot but no light emits so it doesn’t damage eyes. Had great reviews

are you being serious right now?
