    wooden tank measurements?

    That's what I have now in my 40g breeder for my other little guy. It works fine but it doesn't look all that great from the outside. viewtopic.php?f=75&t=204344 My next build will be stackable so external mounting won't be an option

    wooden tank measurements?

    I was considering side mouting it as well but there are 2 issues I see with that. 1. The beardie gets burned from direct contact if he falls into it while climbing around the cage. Mine likes to be a spider and wall along the walls 2. When we look into the enclosure, we'll see this super bright...

    wooden tank measurements?

    I used 3/4" ply, pine. I bought 2 sheets of 8'x4' and used 1 1/2 I think. I know everyone says pine is the devil, but I sealed it with 5 coats of tightbond III and I also covered it with a 3D background. I put some linoleum tiles and sand for substrate. He's been living in it for over a year...

    wooden tank measurements?

    I planned to use the same light fixture I used in my 4x2x2 build and tinkering with either a regular clear household bulb or a 50W - 75W basking bulb. Whichever produces the best temperature for the basking area. For UVB I plan on using regular flat T5 fixtures for the 10.0 UVB T5 HO bulbs

    wooden tank measurements?

    Crossfire type builds are very popular builds that are usually 4x2x2. I am about to start building a stackable crossfire type for my 2 dragons. I'm making it 5x2x18" each. I'm only making them 18" tall so the UVB bulbs won't be so far away from the dragons

    DIY 3D Background for Apollo's enclosure w/Pics

    Lighting Help for Newbies (:

    Would a full spectrum/total spectrum light be good to use for Beardies? I'm thinking of switching over to LED and wonder if these would cut it or not: http://www.rapidled.com/total-spectrum-violet-uv-led/

    I agree, Terri is amazingly patient and thorough. Very, very helpful and even though I'm sure she's heard the same questions hundreds of times before, she is still very thorough in answering them. Awesome customer service for sure.

    Sorry, I have been slacking on the pics. I haven't been on the site in a while either. Lots going on at home. New guy at work has 2 beardies that he got off a breeder while he was in Phoenix. Both are over a year old, and both are in a single 20g tank. This is what the breeder gave him and...

    Apollo came from Thor and Piper's clutch. I agree they are great to deal with and I would definitely buy from them again as well.
