New Dragon Strand Hybrid Large Atrium for my Beman <3
- Thread starter Beman
- Start date
Thank you!
I ordered these... https://www.pangeareptile.com/store/t5-uvb-light-fixture.html
3 of the 48 inch fixtures. and a 6% UVB bulb to replace one of the daylight bulbs. I may add a 3rd daylight bulb and fixture just want to see what the light output is with the 3 first. They get here in a few days.
So for me I run a dehumidifier because my ambient humidity sits at 60-70% without doing anything. I live in a very humid area. So it does not matter if I have full screen or not because my levels sit so high. So I got the PVC walls to hold moisture over spray, so that I can have two cages sitting next to each other and not have them see one another, and I have literally a wall of windows behind my cages so the pvc helps block light at night from cars. But really I just love the look of it and it is easy to clean.
The PVC panels make the cage much more secure and sturdy too which is nice.All front panels are full screen so there is plenty of airflow.
Ok so this is my reworked fogging pipes.... I used T and L connectors. These are 3/4 of an inch pieces. 4 outputs on the Large atrium and then I will have 2 on the Medium Tall atrium after I rework it. This runs along the top of the enclosure and I have two zip ties securing it in place hooked to the middle mistking nozzle.
Lights hopefully will be here tomorrow. Even paid extra for Fed ex delivery... waste of $24.

So am I !!. We have a bit before our upgrades .
this could be basils new condo after the move however !.
It has taken me quite a while to get to this point... I had many a mess ups... bought the wrong stuff. Wrong cage. Wrong this and that. You will get there.

If I could redo it all right now, I definitely would. I would love to get something like this and make his current enclosure for some female crested geckos. Or maybe get another chameleon in the future? I've been obsessed with panthers lately. ?
Time will tell. I definitely love cresties and chams so I will stick with those unless a beardie makes its way into my life. It sucks that I can only have a limit of two reptiles right now until I move. Life is definitely not fair!

Thank you! I really wish I would have done more research before doing Basil's terrarium. I think I had the right idea with a lot of things but didn't stop to plan. I was so excited at the time that I rushed it. Next time I will definitely plan ahead and take it easy! Right now it is at a good spot as of today and I think it'll stay like that until we move.

Basil is my chameleon. Past name was Pascal before I changed it. I am hoping to move next summer. ?
Yeah this was me as well. I had some epic fails with my first DS cage. I have learned a lot over the last year and a half. Your cage is great with the new plants you added. In time you will find the next one you want and have the knowledge to set it up exactly the way you want.

If I get stuck, I got the Chameleon Enthusiast Gang to help me out.
