that looks wiked awesome!! congrats! and really nice looing boy! :D

thank you, that tank is wicked heavy OMG! He's my GF's beardie.. ( I just do the heavy lifting)

Is that a 75 gallon? Mine loves hers. You might want to put down some tile to help with the beardies grip. A slate or ceramic without the glossy texture. I love the decor you have in there though. It looks great.

lol sounds like my bf- hes just there for the heavy lifting :p

we're getting another beardie soon so im hoping to get him a nice sized tank once he gets bigger (our current beardie is in a 3ftX2ft cage) and all we got for the baby coming in Jan. is a 30g.

looks great but i'm pretty sure the beardie needs to be able to get within 6-8 inches of the UVB light

no, its a 55gal... I have more tile to put in, just got a lil happy and took pics of it.. he's a spaz in it goes from the top all the way to the bottom them back and again...


The lamps are about 6-8 inches from his basking spot. the large black one is just for more light.

umm... what kind of UVB do you have???

He must have been very cramped in the 20 gallon!!

I second what Brain is saying, do you use MVB?

Also, Those dial thermometers can be up to 20 degrees off.

Nice looking cage though

there's a 10.0 repti glo by exo terra in the silver lamp and there is a 2nd uvb in the large black lamp..

as for the dials, yes I know they can be off some, but I dont have the $ get a digital set up right now.. He was good in the 20L, but I had to rehome my RES before he moved into the 55gal.. I have a few more things to add to his set up, it's not completely finished.. I work with what I got around me.

Thank you for lookin:gj:

Hi,

Well the good news is the digital acurite weatherstation with probe is only around $12-15. :gj:

The base unit measures temp and humidity and the probe measures temp so by moving it arround you can get a really good idea of the enviroment. :)

Dr.Del where can I pick one of those up? The area I live in does not have many reptile stores, all I have access to is petcos and pet smarts, who we all know charge an arm and a leg for things.. thanks again for the info.


Cheers

Hi,

Well we used to just say walmart but apparently they have stopped stocking that particular model in some places.

This site has them though or you can usually get great deals on ebay.


dr del

Dr.Del NICE!!! I'll look at the wally world by me.. do you think Lowes or Home Depot would carry them? Also could these be used for snakes? Thanks again for the help Dr.

No problem, :)

And yes those are what we recommend for all the reptile temp and humidity checking.

Temp guns are better for random spot checking but for simple setting up and monitoring those should work just fine.

And it is definately worth checking out the local hardware stores - they are really meant for people to keep an eye on the weather after all. :D


dr del

Thanks again Dr. I'll look at the hardware store... do you mount them in the tank? or does just the prob go in? I've never used them.. if ya hav a pic that would be great. If I can see how ya have it I understand things more clearly.. thanks again

Cheers

Hi,

Well the base unit measures the humidity so to read that you would need to put the whole unit in the tank. If you are only wanting to monitor temps though you could just use the probe.

For a normal BP enclosure most people would have the base unit sitting at the cool end of the tank and have the probe inside the warm end hide.

While setting it up though you would be moving the probe to various points so only fix it in place once you have decided what you want to measure and where. :)


dr del

oh ok got ya.. thanks for the info Dr. Del.... if the wal-mart here has them i'll let you know. maybe you can bulk order from them. lol thanks again

Cheers:gj:
