let the other person have it as i dont have the money at the moment and would like to have the experience of building one myself.
maybe in the future i could get you to build one for me or something.

No worries mate and good luck with your building.
If you change your mind, let me know, as the other person decided to build his own as well.

if i build one and it turns into a pile of broken boards ill remember you :wink:

Below is approx costs from bunnings gt west hwy minchunburry



2 3x2melamine = approx $20each
2 2x2melamine = approx $20each
1 3x2pegboard = approx $20


below is quoted from reptile barn gt west hwy st marys

Thermostat = $47
2 BC light fittings = $6each
2 sheets of 4mm glass = approx $40
1 set of 4mm glass tracks = $17


I would use 2 normal incandescent light globes (preferably red) at 60watt -75watt each.The idea of pegboard gives good ventilation and because it isnt a huge rear wall plus the rear is up against a wall in your room not alot of heat loss will exist.The globes may be overkill but due to thermostatically controlling it will keep temps at a regular heat.Also if 1 globe should blow you have the safety of a 2nd globe so temps do not fall too low. For DIY your looking at roughly $200.
