***The Third Official Enclosure Picture Thread***

Hi all,

Thought I'd put my setup as well.

Enclosure: Reptizoo knockdown 36x18x36
Equipment:
Lighting: Reptisun LED plus UVB 5.0 along with LED for plants
Heat Lamp: 75w Bulb (92 degrees at basking location)
Mist King (running on the chameleon academy timings) / Ro/di water
Reptifogger: (running on the chameleon academy timings) / Ro/di water.

Plants:
Umbrella plant
Golden Pothos
Green Pothos
Tradescantia zebrina (inch plant)
Standard bromeliad
Magnolia and mango leaf litter
Soil is ABG mix

Perches: all are Grapevine that has been sanded rough for additional grip

This is a bioactive tank. Approximately 300+ x 3(different species) isopods that are fed repashi isopod food along with carrots 2x a week. I try to remove fecal matter when I can of it's a huge one!

Star: Panther Chameleon. He's about seven months old. Captive bred.

Thanks!
Hi- I have the same terrarium. Have you checked your UVB output with a Solarmeter? When I did this I found that my basking branch had to be just 6" below the screen to get the required UVI of 3, not the 8" they use with a Reptibreeze, and I had to raise the tube above the screen about 2" to prevent dangerously high UVB levels on the top screen if my baby checks out his roof. I love this terrarium but the screen blocks more light than the reptibreeze so we need to make adjustments in our lighting. :)
 
You know I can't resist a good enclosure thread!! :D

Once again it is time to inspire those who want to get creative and be innovative with their enclosures! We have two other threads dedicated to enclosures, but I think it is important that we showcase how the hobby has continued to evolve in recent times. Show us your updated, original, bio-active, free-range, outdoor and greenhouse, cabinet-conversion, custom built, breeder, and any other high quality enclosures. Please share the equipment, plants, drainage, etc. that you chose and help others to improve their own projects!!!

Let’s see some great enclosures!!!
That’s one amazing build. Nice work
 
Gorgeous! It's so awesome to have it all running beforehand.
thank you! :) Yeah it really is. I feel like I learned so much my first time around. I totally wasn't prepared at all. Now I feel like I might be a little paranoid about everything lol but I feel it's so necessary. I feel so prepared now.
