Hey guys,
i am gathering up all the info you guys a telling me, so i can kinda make it so its a bit of an original..Any one have ideas on what i could do?

 

[dougie210]

Ok guys heres some questions.......
1:I will be using a heat cord to heat all the gecko tubs?SO should i use thermostat?
2:What kind of wood should i use?
and 3:Is there any special ways i need to build the rack system?
Ok thanks guys,
Chris

1: some people don't use thermostats with small wattage cords, I'd use one for safety though.
2: Melamine is the best, thats the main wood people use for racks/enclosures its pretty cheap also.
3: its pretty basic, I can't describe how to do it really, but I made a 4x3x3 enclosure myself so its pretty easy!

Ok guys, thanks for that dave94, once other people have answered those 3 last questions, i will start designing the rack, then probaly this week, i will go looking and shopping around for some decent size tubs for the geckos!Then will get wood and things once i have it all sorted out

Set up (not including cord,thermostat etc) will cost around $100-120. I payed $110 for all my wood, glass track (you don't need that :lol nails,screws,vents etc so its not that much!

 

[dickyknee]

1 always use a thermostat , better to be safe than sorry
2 melamine ....
3 no , make a simple shelf rack , rout some grooves in the back of each shelf to run the cord .

 

[dougie210]

OK thanks guys, what type of thermostat?I was thinking about using the one i said in the thread Thermostats.........
Thanks,
Chris

 

[dickyknee]

A simple on/off will do , microclimate or habistat are you best bets .....

The reptapet one I commented on? They might work, but there worth $65 where I am, why not pay a extra $35 or so and get a very good one?

 

[dougie210]

So what kind of habistat should i get?Which ones will be fine for the gecko rack?
