It's a Zen Habitat that I found preowned for an amazing price! $150 total for the enclosure, the homemade stand, the main basking fixture & bulb, the Zoo Med t5 terrarium hood & Reptisun 10.0 bulb that's only a few months old, 2 feeding dishes, and 2 of the hides! I can't even believe my luck. Pancake is so happy
I'm not finished decorating it yet. I'm going to add my hammocks and make a bridge that goes all the way across. Before anyone asks, the little doohickey in the left corner is a digital thermometer/hygrometer. I only use it to measure humidity and ambient temp; I use a temp gun to measure her basking temps.
EDIT: That's the 24" hood. Is that ok for a 4x2x2 enclosure or should I look into buying the 36" hood? I have another identical 24" hood + bulb but when I tried putting both in, it looked like overkill and took up the space I use for her CHE. I had one hood toward the back and one toward the front but the one in the front was in the way of the CHE if that makes sense? The enclosure has 2 rods inside on the ceiling for hanging lights and whatnot so if I wanted to put the second UVB somewhere else in there, I'd have to cut holes in the screen to mount it. I don't want to do that. The CHE is non-negotiable because, without it, her temps drop too low at night. My apartment is basically a refrigerator lol.
Here's a pic of the rods I'm talking about with the hood inside mounted using them and the CHE on top and in front of the hood. Should make it easier for y'all to see what I mean about there not being enough room to put one hood in the back and one toward the front. Should I put the hood at more of an angle or is it ok the way it is?
Sorry for rambling. I have adult ADHD that only responds to Adderall and I don't like taking the medication unless I have to because it jacks my BP up and makes me feel weird in an unpleasant way. I have a tendency to ramble when I don't take it and I haven't taken it today....obviously.
