Slowly getting there, just got to add 4 or 5 cork bark tubes for hides and a metal halide for uv.

Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forums, so hello there! Heres my newly setup juvenile Ackie cage. 6 to 10" of substrate, hot spot 145, 82 at the cool end. Basking light on 24/7, Strip light on a 12hr cycle. He seems to be sleeping more or less by the strip light cycle. Its a 36"x18"x18" exoterra, with most of the screen top blocked with plastic, so it hold temps and humidity well. Ill be building a larger enclosure when he grows out of this one. Lastly, substrate is Soil/Sand mix, and I'm finding its holding burrows well.

Contemplating adding a cleanup crew of Springtails and small isopods, etc. Anyone else trying/doing this for tank maintenance? Would love to here more from others who've taken a shot at it.

Super glad to be here, looking forward to contributing to the community!

[doublepost=1528325933,1527531384][/doublepost]Wanted to add a few fun factoids of my setup for those who are interested..

Light setup and temps in greater detail:

- Day:
- 160 Watt MV.. recorded basking temps: 159 degF at the hottest spot, 110 degF in the furthest area down the cork bark hide, 100 on the slate to the right (he has a burrow under here, as well as other spots around the enclosure).
- T8 UVB 5.0 florescent strip on top for ambient lighting (only partially exposed, most of the light is shining thru a cloudy translucent a plastic..acts kind of like a diffuser..had the strip from a previous reptile so figured why not).
- ambient air temps around 85 degF.

- Night:

- 50 Watt Zilla Halogen Mini-Dome Red night light adjacent to the daylight bulb. Basking area hits over 150, cool end might drop to 78, avg ambient temps ~82.
