    looks pretty good! those covers are great. how are you going to use bulbs with them? if you're still having humidity issues even with those covers, maybe try taping saran wrap OUTSIDE the top on the metal edges; that's worked wonders for me in the past. i've never used a hide like that with a hole on the top. asking anyone who might know: are those suitable?

    I hear the hole on top design works well. I am making a cheapo version for one of my more reluctant feeders to see if I can get him more consistent. The OP put in some good work. Hope it holds up when the bulldozer arrives. Most of my girls would extensively "redecorate".

    I should point out that I had just plugged everything back in after house cleaning yesterday to take this pic - so temps are off on those acurites... The acrylic/plaskolite panels are not toxic and have a melting point somewhere around 300F. But I'm only covering 3 or the four 4 panels and it's a very tight seal. I left 1 panel off in the back/left beneath the coated heat light so I get improved ambient heating and some ventilation.
