Hi!
I'm not sure if anyone will remember my last string of recent threads, but Ive been battling with my lovely looking custom wooden cage for some time now!! I spent ages getting it to look good, heat properly and get humidity down...and then you all manage to convince me that a plastic tub IS the way to go!! Ive put it off until now, simply because my enclosure looked awesome (and the girlfriend thought it was a nice "ornament" for the house!) but its soo much hassle to keep!
I'm happy with the tub now, and just wanna thank everyone on here for all the help and advice! You made me see the light (or plastic?!?) eventually! No more pretty cage...but one very happy snake and owner!
Ive included a pic of my old wooden viv with the new tub on top. I think you'll agree that it looks the business but is hell to keep!
Cheers everyone!!

I never thought I'd like plastic tubs or racks either, but they are great for keeping temps and humidity stable. I'm sure you'll love it too. You'll have to take another pic when you have it all set up.

(Oh and I edited your pic down to a link because it was a bit too big )

Do what I did bro. When I bought my second tank and second snake (a female blood python) I had it set up and ready to do. But once I found out that bloods are intermediate snakes I decided to go with a tub (due to the ease of use). Anyway so I ended up having an extra tank just sitting around. Well that viv you made is perfect for a new baby bearded dragon! (replace the aspen with sand). Just mine opinion because I know they don't need humidity. Just a suggestion so that nice little set up you have there doesn't just sit around.

Id love a beardie but really cant afford to keep one at the mo, being a student an all! Im sure itll make some ebay buyer very happy when I stick it up for auction!
