Animal Plastics T8

[sparky767]

So, I ordered an Animal Plastics T8 after reading the entire post sticky’d in this forum!!

I ordered it on 2/9/18, and although it was a quick ship item, I asked Ali (who is awesome, by the way) to add a second strip of LED lights and router out temp probes on the left, center, and right, so it added a tiny bit of time to their quick ship (so I have a red strip and a white strip ) because I wanted those customizations.

Super easy to put together, the instructions are very clear. Probably took me about an hour to put together (by myself), took longer to inbox it then to set it up! The pre-drilled holes were fantastic and spot on. I had two Pro Products RHPs shipped to them, so when I got it here, they were already attached to the top section! (I ordered two because I’m using the divider in this one.)

I’m super happy with it, just waiting for the sealer to cure, but here are the progress pics!!

U-Line wide bench. Same dimensions as the T8! It’s 36” high.



Bottom and both sides on!



Got the back attached. You can see the air vents pretty clearly.



Flipped upside down. The short cords are for the led light strips, and the long ones are for the RHPs.



Getting ready to attach the flex watt belly heat with the aluminum tape. I had them make channels for the temp probes on both sides and the middle so I could setup the cage in any configuration I wanted to. So I’ve got the probe in the middle, and it’s time to tape it down!



I drilled holes on the back to send the probes through that will control the RHPs. Easy peasy. You can see the probes dangling (for now).



Getting the temps adjusted. I know the sliding glass door aren’t on yet (Fedex sucks and is sending that box on Tuesday) but I’m really just learning how to use the HerpStat 4 (1 channel for UTH, and 1 channel for each RHP. Got one channel leftover. Maybe I’ll use that for a mister and humidity probe (probably not, lol).

I’ll post more pics once I get the doors in and start decorating!
