    Re: Enclosure - The forever home question

    This my setup for my two ball pythons - this setup will last forever, I never plan on moving them out of it.

    T8 from Animal Plastics w/divider, glass doors and lock (I house a ball python on each side)
    x2 Reptile Basics 28 Watt Radiant Heat Panel (one for each side)
    x2 Fluorescent Fixture (purchased with T8 from animal plastics)
    Magnets - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (to mount the humidity/temperature gauge)
    Timer - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (I used these to have my lights on an on/off timer)
    Herpstat 4 (controls my UTH and RHP's)
    Handles for the T8 Glass Doors - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    x2 NatureSun 2.0 bulbs (replaced the bulbs that are sent with the light fixtures from AP)
    x2 Reptile Basic Hides http://www.reptilebasics.com/hide-boxes
    Cable Mounts - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (used to mount RHP probes)
    x2 Crock Water Dishes http://www.arcatapet.com/item.cfm?cat=1898
    Substrate http://www.papermart.com/regular-b-f...s/id=4609#4609 - I choose this substrate as it looks nice and clean, it runs about $50.00, has lasted my over a year. I still have 1/3 of the roll left from a purchase on 11/2012
    UTH - THG Heat Tape from Reptile Basics
    Humidity/Temperature gauge - http://www.amazon.com/EXTREMELY-ACCU.../dp/B00BDN2ILC
    IR Gun - I used this one - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
    Stand - http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-...to-55/20666560 (This is what mt T8's sit on, looks nice and length wise, measurements are perfect)


    This particular setup is close to approximately $1200.00, but worth every penny. I don't worry about temperature, humidity, nothing, very easy to maintain and looks very nice. Below is a very detail post that gives some additional information about setting up a T8.
