This is my viv. 4x2x2 with plexiglas doors that swing out and magnets at the bottom. I have a 45w GE Basking heat bulb, 60w CHE, 24" Zoo Med Repti Sun 10.0 UVB and a 40w day bulb on the cool end to help regulate the temp on that end. Ceramic Tile & Repti Carpet for Substrate. Here's the pic hope you like!

Sebastian, great looking viv, love the levels and tile work, I was trying to figure out what was in the bowl on your table in front of the couch. :dontknow: dog bones? (nosey aren't I?) :roll:

Thank you so much! To answer your question, that is our collection of wine corks. We put a glass container in the center with a candle and surrounded with the corks then placed on our coffee table. No dog bones

The stone paint is very durable, especially with a good top coat applied. The first series of pics shows the old viv with red stone paint + generic clearcote. That setup was extremely durable....so much so, that sanding it down wasn't practical (wouldn't come off), so I just painted over it after roughing up the surface.
I just started using the new viv, so I can't comment on the durability of the new paint...however polycrylic is very durable on its own, so I am not anticipating any issues.

The light fixtures are part of this - http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=2122. It comes in 3 sizes for, 24", 36", and 48" light tubes (T8 or T12). It supports 2 separate tubes, and as you can see in the pictures the end caps are loose...allowing you to hang the lights wherever you need them. If it wasn't for this thing, I'd be up the creek so to speak, as I simply have no room for full size fluorescent tube fixture. After getting a couple bad Mega Rays, which resulted in my male dragon having eye issues, I had to make the switch to repti-suns. I am very pleased with this fixture overall. It uses a high quality electronic ballast with zero flicker or humming. Each socket is at the end of a 4ft long cable, so its really easy to mount them where you need them. I have one straight across the back of my viv, and one diagonally over the 2 basking spots. With the extra wire length, I can adjust the height of each tube as needed.
My viv and lighting setup are really designed for a good MVB, but I'm pleased enough with the new fixtures that I'll probably never go back.

I just got two of the dimming units, and began using them on one of my dragons vivs. They are pretty cool. I am using a timer to make sure that in case of power failure the unit doesnt reset and start its 10,12,14 hr cycle then. Working good. I found these clamps on ebay and built a little bracket so they could be mounted sturdy. I've got a reptisun 10 on the bracket, and a reptisun (now naturesun) on the ceiling.

Looks good! I like the little clips! Does the light cycle function work...the whole dimming on and dimming off to simulate a sunrise/sunset? I was always curious if it worked or not.

This is Hobbs' home. Im still working on it and going to get slate tile soon. And dont worry about the therm that you see, i have a digital on that just doesnt want to stay up to view.... Kinda bare but its a start!

He used to have a cut out box for a hidey spot but he hated it so now he can go under the rock or in the fake plants(which he loves)

 

[Hobbs51]
