My 5 bay enclosure set up that my dad & I built last year -
Mum showing how tall the enclosures are (she's 150cm)




- our helper (R.I.P Jetz)





Cabinet/Bookshelf conversions







and Olive python enclosure in progress


In the planning stage, 2 level Bearded Dragon enclosure with storage




Just a heads up - this is why I don't use heat mats, and never will again!

heat mats don't mix with plastic,better off using sand substrates

[Albino93]

well technically dragonlover1 that peticular heatmat is only meant to be used under a glass tank, that could be why it burnt up like that? i was actually gonna do the same thing but with substrate but then read the instructions and found out it said 'glass only' lol

I just bought the pack of three 12v downlights that Ikea sells, great lights and hardly take any power

I found the sand didn't warm properly, so I took it out. Just don't trust heat mats now, since that one shorted out. Heat cords all the way!

Yeh heat mats are UNDER tank heaters different to heat cords. strong heat on rubber astro turf is asking for trouble, the mat is probs still fine.

It's got holes through it ? How can it be fine

[thomasssss]

the heat probably couldn't get through the astroturf and it built up over time , my mate been using the same heat matt for well over a year with no problems and ive had one running for about 4 months , just make sure you use them properly and there fine

You have to use a thermostat otherwise they can do that to your snakes.

that happened because heatmats are not meant to have that over them....common sense that when plastic is heated it melts......you should have it buried in dirt or under a glass enclosure....in this case it's not the heatmats fault its the person who put fake turf on it with out a barrier like glass.

2.4 long X 1.2 wide X 2.0 high ..Because of backing onto parkland it wasn't an option to build an outdoor enclosure .With the local ferals roaming the neighbourhood at night it wouldn't be hard for one of them to jump the back fence and break into an outdoor cage so that is the reason for such a large indoor cage .
