What type of set up do you have?

[Ax01]

Question- If I were to home make a stand, could I turn the tanks on its side, so the front/lid is facing front? Would that be alright to do?

would u be tipping it to make it taller? ive seen peeps do this but keep in mind that this changes the weight distribution of the tank. like it might be top heavy, so u gotta really secure the base to make sure it won't tip over. also U gotta really secure the lid so it won't fall off.

I have some tub from walmart, i wanted to build from pvc sheets like axo1 or abs, but i can't find those in my area so im probably gonna do something with melamine, just wondering how im i going to heat it, thinking, melamine,uth, and pexiglass on top of that, but i dunno, dont want the uth inside.

are u building a multilevel rack? or just 1 enclosure. i would use heat tape for a rack and heat mat for a single tank or enclosure. u can buy it prewired or wire I yourself. Reptile Basics and Bean Farm are some good retailers for this. u won't need plexiglass if u intend to use a tub on the rack. just place the tub on top of the heat tape.

It'd be flat on the side like this(I used a ten gallon I keep in handy as an example) My only problem would be lighting(Since I use that especially for the heat)

How do you heat at night?

How do you heat at night?

Depends, it gets pretty hot and humid here sometimes in the spring/summer nights, sometimes in the fall too. Typically I used the black/night lightbulb. I've been too afraid to use the heat mats, especially since I don't have a thermostat and use paper towels as substrate(for the moment)
