Twin BP cages

My twin cages are ready to receive my 2 girls.

These are 2 herptek 24x24x20", set up side by side and sharing the same heating device, controled by a Lucky Reptile Thermo control II PRO that also takes care of the light cycle.

Here they are:

(on the top shelf you may see the 16x12" fauna boxes were they have been since I´ve got them)

I fed them today, so I´ll probably move them on Wednesday

Very nice cages! Possible get some photos Wednesday when they're in the enclosures?

Wednesday will not be the best day for pictures. I´ll move them in their hides so they feel safer and let them settle for around 7-10 days (skipping next weekend´s meal). Once they eat 1 or 2 times in the new cages, I´ll "bother" them with pics. I believe it´s a safer move that way
But I have pics of the girls in the gallery. Take a look

Hi,

How are you finding the lucky reptile thermostats? I was intrested in getting one but couldn't seem to see one with a night time drop function?

Hi Dr Del

This one has the night drop function. I bought through a Spanish online retailer. I don´t know if they ship to Scotland, though. Here´s the link: http://www.monanimal.net/index.php?c...70485502bfed05

Hope that helps

So, I moved them on Wednesday and Accra (nominal) started to take advantage of her new enclosure

(I kept the old hide in for the first days)

Abuja (the pastel) is, as usual, more reclusive and I still did not see her moving around (although I´ve noticed that she has been testing the new area; the substract has been digged and the hides used)

hey, do you use heat lamps on your herptek terrariums? I want to place a ceramic heatbulb onto the mesh section for lamps, but i am worried the mesh will get way too hot? Do any of you also tape some of the vents shut to increase air temp?
