New Chondro Cage

[Rastass]

I just logged on for the first time in a while and I got a suggestive little message. Seems I should post something to help the other members.

Anyway.....I really don't have anything to offer so I thought I would throw up some pics of my new chondro cage. Some of you may have seen it recently at a herp show.

As my girl is starting to grow up I decided she could have her adult cage now. The cage is made out of black HMR Chipoard (or melamine - can't quite remember now). Some little extras that I wouldn't do to any other cage include:

All joints are sealed with silicone. The floor and bottom 50mm of the walls have been sealed using Gripset 51, and aquarium sealant, making it waterproof.

The branches have been striped right down below the bark and then coated with Cabots water based polyurethane. The branches are attached to the enclosure with hooks and eyes for easy removal.

I have a 150 watt heat panel on the roof painted with black engine enamel so that it isn't noticeable.

I built the cage about a month ago and let it sit for a while. I finally put her in it Sunday last week. I heavily sprayed with water and after 9 days the humidity is still sitting at 74%.

I dont know how long this cage will stay together with the high humidity but thats OK because I could certainly make some improvements next time.

Looks good Rastass. I like you camouflage netting in the background, you must be in the military? (Ps. It doesn’t work; I can still see your python )
