Just finished with a custom two level viv. We took an old entertainment center and divided it into two tanks by building a shelf, which also has all of the electronics for the lower level.
-Upper tank has 2 20W under-cabinet halogen lights for basking. After some arranging of viv decor, basking area is now at 107~ degrees.
-Lower level has three of the above mentioned lamps, and am seeing 97 degree temps directly on the tile. Should increase after I get decor and arrange it.
-Each level has a 24", 17W Reptisun 10.0 UVB, with fixtures painted black to blend in.
-Both tanks are set up on timers.
-Each tank has two 18"x18" tiles with reptile carpet to fill in voids. Both of which are on top of shelf liner.
-Two drawers are used for supplies.
-Lower cabinet will be set up with a heating pad for my dubia breeder colony so I can monitor their environment closer. Feeder colony is in the closet.
-Looking for a female beardie for my male leatherback, who you will see in the below pictures!
Let me know what you think.
Edit: Sorry about the rotated pictures. Not sure how to fix that...
The whole thing. Need another beardie for the bottom.
Looks very nice. Good that you will be hanging the fluorescent UVB in the tank. You might want to think about getting a larger dome for the basking light so that the heat will cover a bigger area.
Hello Every one I am new to the forum. I thought i would share pics of my enclosure it 4'x2'x 30"tall.
I tried to breed these two together this year lets hope for the best.He is a Red/Orange Hypo Trans Leatherback She is White/Yellow hypo tiger
Figured I would show Diablo's viv seeing as we won't be making any changes to it for a while. Nothing too fancy, but she seems to enjoy it all.
Here terrarium is also right next to my computer so we can always look at each other.
