    I started another thread about the AP cages and the stand that come with them and most people are not using the stand. I was originally going to order the stand and the coasters to go along with the cage so that does cut down the cost. I will most likely be ordering the cage in the next couple weeks because it such a headache worrying about the humidity all the time. I will just continue to spay the cage a few times a day. I also want to go ahead and order the T10 now because it takes forever to ship lol (3 months). I'll just be eating ramen noodles for the next couple months.

    I do have one question, can I set the AP T10 on the floor if I haven't found a stand when it comes? I don't know how the belly heat/flexwatt is attached.
    No idea how AP cages work and how much they weigh. So moving later could be annoying, no idea.

    My guess is that flexwatt with a thermostat won't get hot enough to hurt anything, but maybe put a piece of plywood/PVC, etc, to buffer the floor just in case?

    Also, going to be a royal pain to clean when on the floor.

    My Boaphile setup is 5 tanks high and they are on a 12 inch stand/box. I use knee pads to clean the bottom tank where Figment, my Corn lives. It's only a foot off the ground!

    Be careful spraying often, it can cool the temps a little, even with warm water. I try to do once a day or every other day, at the most, even if I spray more in one shot.

    With your new cage, I imagine it's going to be way better.
