Hello to all. This is my first post to the monster forums. Let me know what you think of my new cage! It's an 8'x3'x3' cage. The frame is made out of 2x4's and the walls on the inside are foam boards. I then attached self adhesive "wood print" vinyl to the inside.
For heat i have a 160 watt RHP controlled by a Herpstat ND. I have the lights on a digital timer. The come on in the morning at 7am, then kick off at night at 9pm. When they kick off at night, my black lights come on.
I also have a humidifier setup to automatically come on for 15 minutes every 3 hours. It keeps the humidity up around 70% or so. She's had amazing sheds after i added this system. The shelf and branch are removable for deep cleaning.
A lot of hard work went into this cage, please let me know what you think!
Glueing the foam boards to the 2x4's
My $6 homemade snake hook
The shelf and log were stained, then coated with polyurethane
The finished product!
She loves her basking shelf
I drilled out the back of the cow scull and ran the humidifier plumbing behind it. The humidity comes out through the eyes and nose.
The cage fills up with humidity nicely.
And this is Alice. She's a 1 and a half year old, 11 foot long White Phase Tiger Retic.
I go back and forth between repti bark and outdoor carpet. The carpet is easier to keep up, but the bark looks nicer.
When the black light kicks on at night, the blue flowers and Alice really glow!
Thanks for looking!
