trying to get set up ready....

[lyricalmiracle]

just wanted any criticism or pointers for improvement, viv is for a panther. i still need to wash the umbrella plant, add a couple of walkways and raise the ficus by about 5 or 6 inches. anything other than that?

cheers:

i like your setup looks full

 

[hawaiianice99]

looks good, but is looks like there isnt enough solid branches for it to climb on.

I worry about ventilation...chams need a lot of air flow... not like a fan pointed at them... but natural air flow in the cage so it can dry out. is the front screen or glass or plastic? have you been running tests to see what kind of temps you get?

It very nice I like it.

the whole of the front is screen, top is screen, two large parts on each side are screen as well. it's in a fairly draughty location so seems to get good air flow and dry out ok.

getting good temperature gradient, 88-90 at the basking, 80ish in the middle and 75 at the mid/bottom, doesn't ever drop below 71 at night

i think its just fine. you can get a vine going through your big umberella plant

What will you be keeping in the cage?

Looks great!
Are the lights on the inside though? That would be my only concern.

Thanks Brad.

looks good!, temps sound perfect... like Brad said though, if the lights are on the inside i would recommend trying to set them up on the outside (top) of the cage..

I'de double check those zip ties also. If they are not cut off flush they can be sharp as heck. I've had blood drawn many times at work due to zip ties that weren't cut off correctly.

the uv tube is right at the top at the front on the inside, but the basking lamp is outside above some mesh
