My New 1 Tub Rack. Cost= $0

i just got home for spring break and brought Frank home for the first time. i live in an apt at college, so i dont have alot of time/tools to make anything. i saw that we have alot of stuff sitting around in the garage, so i made this thing in 45 min. everything is scrap pieces, even the paint. (thanks dad haha)

the middle piece of for the recessed bottom on the sterilite tub, so now the flexwatt is right up against the bottom. (still being painted in the pic)

Cool! The only 1-tub rack I've ever seen. :)

thanks! i actually made the "rack" for the sole purpose of hiding him from my landlord(he use to be in an aquarium- waaay to obvious). the lamp comes off during the days (unless its cold out-his tub is right by a window). plus, i thought it looked ugly to just have a piece of tupperware sitting on the ground of my dirty apt. this makes it look a lil more....professional maybe haha

lol good idea i suppose. your temps/humidity are way off though. nice looking bp there.

the humdity all got released when i took the top off to feed him. and the hot side temp is 90. which isnt that bad.

What's your cool side temp?

with the lamp, 80=82.
without, 75 :(

i hate using a lamp, especially at night. maybe with this new "rack", itll insulate a lil better and i wont need the lamp

Haha.. I fooled several people(just for fun) with a snake in an aquarium. Set the tank all up nice and pretty for the python... put in a hide, which typical for a call python he went right for and curled up inside. And then put in a small fake plastic frog, partly hidden in the bedding.
Everyong looking into the tank 'spotted' the frog and assumed that's all that was in it. It was rather fun.
Nice work by the way, neatly done!

Yeah.

thanks for the comments guys!

hey notannotherhonda whats that thurmometer/humidity guage where did you get it and how much(don't mean to sound nosey but im new and need to finalize my setup i just need to lock down a thurmometer)

i have 2 in there. cold side is just a cheap $5 one, and the hot side is an accurite digital thermometer...$15.

both from walmart

thanks for noticin ;)

They also carry the acurite thermometers at Lowe's home improvement

Here's the link http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...7GT&lpage=none

It has the probe to read the temp on one side of the cage, and the digital read-out itself reads the tempature of the other side of the cage. :)

I use that in all of my cages!
