Help with Enclosure

Looks good and the white will make it nice and bright once you get the lights and everything done.

Thank you! Although that is a plus the white is bugging me so much! Im an artist and it just looks like an amazing blank canvas to doodle all over! Darn artistic tendencies!

Finally got my hands on a drill and wiped the tank down with Jurasiclean! Now it doesn't have any trace of that Drylock smell. Just measuring some temps and letting the lighting cook off any extra smell. Then im going to start filling up the tank! Super excited!


Im scheduled to make my payment for my Extreme baby boy this friday night after i get paid. Then i should be receiving him Monday or Tuesday of next week :] I'm including a picture of the little fellow that the breeder sent me!

Things are finally coming together and i couldn't be more anxious for Monday/Tuesday!

Any criticism is welcome! (And yes i know about my hanging light fixture for the UVB. Im going to be switching it to the ceramic fixture once i get to the store again. I just hung that one in there to get a rough estimate of where i was going to be attaching the ceramic :])

And Viola! Just add Tegu! Got the raised basking rock so he can burrow under it if he so chooses, got some space to dig in the front and back corner (going to get a flat piece of cork wood for the back corner for a 'cool' hide.)

My twisty branch is nice and stable, wedged in the corner and a mini rock outcrop for added support. I put some weight on it and it didnt budge so it should be alright if he tries to climb it at all

Let me know what you think! Did i over do it at all? >_>

Awesome job.

sent from my phone to your eyes

Thank you Steven :]

Basking temp got a bit higher than expected so i moved the stone a bit off center. Now the highest it gets is 118 but thats on a small corner of the stone. It drops to close to 110 for the rest of the stone, and there is still a space for him to lay directly under the light but a couple inches lower in the substrate. The cool side temperature is averaging about 83 degrees which im thinking is a bit too warm. Should i drop to a 75 watt bulb to compensate? Or should that be alright since i have a soaking pool provided?

 

[Brittneym]

Re measured and basking is hovering at 115-118 and the cool side is closer to 75-80. That seems a bit more reasonable to me :]

I have a 100 watt Zoomed basking light and a 10.0 reptiglo UVB light. This us my first all wooden enclosure and, my god, does it hold humidity! Its just crazy the jump between this and glass tanks! Now I'm really glad i waterproofed the hell out of the inside
