I have a 16.5"x16.5"x30" reptarium mesh cover to a frame that I build out of 3/4" PVC to allow me to add extra support and places to hang plants. It is covered on 3 sides by plastic sheets to help humidity with 2-3" space between the plastic and mesh for airflow. It sits on a DIY PVC stand with the top of the cage ~ 16" from the ceiling. For lighting I have a T8 18" reptisun 5.0 UVB bulb, a T8 18" grow light and a 15w incandescent bulb for basking. I built a DIY fogger on a timer to help keep the humidity at ~40-50% and it also acts as a dripper when the water builds up on the mesh. I then do hand mistings 2-3 times a day to get a good humidity spike. There are all live plants that have been repotted in organic soil mixed with sand for drainage and covered with rocks. There are also 3 varying sized vines running throughout.
I have had it up and running now for a month or two to work out all the temp, humidity levels and drainage. But I am planning on getting a baby veiled in a week or so and was wondering if a basking spot of about 83-85 is ok or too high?
More Pics coming soon
