Cool background! It's nice to see that he's using his hides, and that they match.


One thing you'll want to change is the thermometer. The little sticky, round ones or the aquarium/fish strips are VERY inaccurate. Do U have a hygrometer for measuring humidity??? You can get a very economical all-in-one unit in the Accurite model that does IN (cool)/ OUT (warm) AND the humidity. :D :D They're very good, and inexpensive. I pay $11 for mine at Wal-Mart.

Otherwise, it's loooook-kiiiiiing good. :D

Welcome aboard! :welcome:

Is that an 18 inch (or so) high tank? If so, where did you get your background? I've been looking for something like that but can't find anything. Also, sweet looking enclosure!

Yeah, the only thing I can think of is a digital thermometer

carmich132, maybe you should just cut some regular height background down a bit? Just a suggestion.

ya i should probably get a digital hygrometer but ill get that later cuz im tight on money right now... my enclosure is a 15 g L (24x12x12) and i got that background from this reptile store near my house (reptilia in toronto, ontario) but im pretty sure most pet stores sell backgrounds

It looks like he does have a digital thermometer with probe up in the top left end of the tank.

are you talking about the backgrounds? if so, they have about 4 different backgrounds to choose from (all 4 have 2 different backgrounds each, 1 different from the other side, so basically theres like 8 backgrounds in total)... theres different pictures ranging from forest (like mine), desert, statues etc.. and u just tape them to your tank

I was talking more about animals, cages etc.

Great tank! The hides on each side of the enclosure are perfect! Do you use anything to control the temp?

oh the animals are in GREAT condition... they're all types of snakes and lizards there, they are properly cared for, good health, each are in their OWN natural set up and fed f/t (i was actually able to see all of them feed after hours)... reptilia is a reptile zoo (they have 24 ft. crocodiles, giant turtles, anacondas, and more) and a reptile shop.

thank u!! and nope i just control it manually... dont have enough money to buy a thermostat :P

When you are able to get a t-stat, please get one! It's important to keep the temp stable.

i will try!
