Hey,
I am in the process of planning out a cage build. I am looking to build a T8 style cage out of 1/2 inch thick PVC and plexi glass for the door. I wanted to make sure that the size of 32Long x 16Wide x14Tall would be a good lifetime cage for a BP (its the best foot print for the area I have for it). I am looking to make a stackable 4 cage display tower kind of thing. I already have a local place that I can get 8x4 sheets of 1/2 inch pvc and have it cut to my request. I was would also like to know if you guys think that heat tape will be strong enough to heat through 1/2 inch pvc. I am going with 1/2 inch rather then 1/4 inch because my house is always cool to cold 65-68 and I figured the extra mass would give me better insulation, make it more ridged and also give me a little more room for error too. If not I can make a cut out on the bottom with a plexi glass insert so I can heat through plexi rather than the 1/2 in pvc. I was thinking of just buying a t8 but I can build 2 of mine for substantially less than the cost of one T8. And I am a project kinda guy and halfway decent craftsman.
I was also kicking around the idea of heating it with CHE bulb inside the cage with a protective cage around the light??????
Let ma know what you guys think and any advice or sugestions would be appreciated.
