He is all over the place on the top level doing patrols this morning. Still has not ventured down to the bottom half yet.
Mom get my branches right !!. I go THERE !.
totally him right now. I will add a few today for pathways. Gonna watch him a bit more and see where he is wanting them.
I like how yours sits up above the drain pan for easy cleaning. The only thing I like better about this version of the cage is I don't have that top panel above the doors like yours does. I have it on my medium tall and it makes me nuts. The extended misting nozzles have been awesome. I have not found anything that I do not like about it so far just have to be strategic with where the nozzles mount and where your lights sit so that the lights arent over the tubes or the nozzle heads.
I have a herpstat for my basking fixture and have the probe tied in at basking then a secondary probe for a zoo med thermometer to double check temps at basking. I have a solarmeter 6.5 and with it running a 6% at about 9 inches down I get a 3 uvi on the branch with these vivarium electronics fixtures. https://www.pangeareptile.com/store/t5-uvb-light-fixture.html
Yeah I loved that about that fixture as well. I used to have them for my cages. But I have had bad luck with them. The display totally went out on one, I had another that the lights would flash when it was off, and another one tried to catch on fire. The reflector in it is not as good either. With singles I get much more light. Also I only have to run a 6% bulb and with the quad I had to run a 12% since it shares one reflector.
Yeah I’m running all my lights on individual timers now so they kick on slowly over an hour and a half in the morning and then off over 2 hours at night. By the time the last t5 kicks off he is already down and In sleeping position.
I do the same with some small led pucks I have that make a actinic light in the 460nm range. I start and end the day with 15m on these pucks. Sometimes I turn them on via smart plug when I’m up watching movies in my bedroom at night so I can view the chams in their pj’s under actinic light, and man do they pop!
This is my current Schedule for everything. I am running 3 nozzles but the back middle one is a dual so 4 total nozzle heads. I get pretty good coverage having them extended this way. I use 8 inch mist king tube to extend them out.
I thought about doing something like this with 4 foot aluminum flat 1 inch rods I have. Running them along the drip pan as there are multiple supports they could lay on under the screen. But I like to be able to lift the screen and deep clean the pan once a month so I tossed that Idea out. Trying to strategically place branches and supports for pots was interesting in this larger cage. Took me a day to lay it all in and get it right lol.
