    Enclosure Build - Need criticism/ suggestions/ help

    Awesome, thanks! I guess that's the ultimate last thing I have to do is check temps. I do have a thermostat controller that will transfer over - even then, the basking light does produce quite a bit of heat. Hopefully the internal dimenions of 4x2x2 will help reduce the overall temp across the...

    I guess I should have specified the full plans. I intend to keep their current enclosure so I can transfer enclosures while we paint the outside, and let it cure. We're just not sure the color so it may take a bit to get it painted. It's very much sealed in the inside - I caked it in those...

    I almost have the enclosure finished and ready to go but I do have one final question. We're wanting to move our beardie into the larger enclosure but we haven't determined what we want to do with the exterior just yet. Do I need to have the outside painted/sealed as well as the inside before...

    I've gone to a much simpler version, but it's basically just taking off the topper and allowing the glass to go the entire width of the enclosure. I may make a topper at some point, but I think for now my stand will provide enough storage space.

    Awesome, that makes me feel much better with the paint then. I was thinking 1 gallon should be plenty but after reading that it made me second guess, lol. I plan on gluing at each seam and screwing them in as well. I thought the paint might seal but just in case a Plan B never hurts as I'm...

    Thank you for all of the suggestions - I've been doing some more research on things, and since this post have had to become a roach farmer. My little one seemed a bit scared of crickets and has zero interest in worms, but eats roaches like crazy. I've come to realize there's a lack of supply...

    Not sure if that makes me nervous or tells me I'm in the right direction, haha! Just trying to make the first one right or at least mostly right. My house usually stays anywhere from 66 - 76 depending on the temp outside, but usually try to keep it in the 72 - 74 range. So far the 60 watt CHE I...
