Re: 6x2x3 enclosure build progression
Agreed, diving into lighting setups is pretty much a whole other world haha. I like to refer to the pie chart below to really illustrate why it's beneficial to use halogens as the heat source -- still, if you look at the circle for sunlight, you can see it's missing some essential pieces, which can be picked up by additional bulbs. Species-appropriate UVB bulbs for the UV portion, and I suppliment the visible light with an LED shop light.
The goal seems to be to get as close to sunlight as humanly possible without using actual sunlight, because the weather outside doesn't always favor the species we keep. And it seems to be working in this setup. Maze does move between hides during lights-on (or if she thinks I will feed her, the opportunist) if she wants to, so the lights aren't really deterring her any.

Mini update. Added more branches so falls are hopefully less likely to happen.

Can I be your snake & move in there? That's a very inviting set-up. "Eye candy" too!

Haha, thank you! It'd probably look nicer if I'd actually built an entire background, but that's more effort that I want to put into this enclosure right now. Maybe I'll get tired of looking at the white walls at some point and do something about it, but for now I'm done.

I think it looks good as is- & would also look good with a full background too- either way.

It looks great. I think we need pictures of what's going in there.

Are you talking about heating, the plants, or something else? I'd be happy to, but not sure what you have in mind.

Re: 6x2x3 enclosure build progression
Way to keep the bar high! Your enclosure makes mine look like a piece of crap. Guess I've got work to do.
