Looks good cobber, what are you keeping/ planning to keep?

 

[Dreaper]

and i cant seem to find the tread but a little while ago someone put a little how to with routing a heat cord into the floor and putting tiles over the top for heat.so a little shout out to them, in the enclosure split into 3 i gave it a go and works like a charm the tiles sit at 32-38 without a thermo and the rest of the enclosure stays fairly cool. saves a lot using 1 cord doing 3 enclosures

right now in them there is 5 jungles 2 spotteds 2 het darwins 1 BHP and a diamond

yeah the big 4 level enclosure the top level has 2, 2 year old females in it and the one under has a 3 year old male and female.
only keep them together as i wait to build more enclosures.

yeah have a trio of really nice black and golds that are 2-3 years old hopefully get upto size for next season but the pair of almost black and white jungles will be 4 soon so more then ready.

Do you use heat cord instead of a heat/basking lamp in your enclosures? And do you keep the cord on over night?

 

[Dreaper]

aquarium grade silicone. i don't think they would get under but just don't want them to mess up in the cracks. one of the spotteds has a talent for finding interesting areas to poop

 

[congo_python]

Yes I silicon them down so no 'mess' gets under them and I use pre-sealed tiles as they clean up so much easier - 10x easier than heat matts even the uric acid.
Sabohan yes I leave the cord on all the time as they are connected thru a thermostat and no heat lamp as the idea of the tiles is a 'one spot' heat source for your animal to choose and your not trying to heat the air up in the enclosure to a 'hot box'. I was amazed how much time they spend away from the heat as i have swapped from globes to matts - too now heated tiles and by far the best way to go IMO.

looks sick bro

 

[moosenoose]

I use the heated tiles (similar setup) for my elapids. Works a treat! Good looking setup man

 

[Hamalicious]

That heat tile looks like a good option for diamonds so are affected from over heating, I might give it ago, cheers. Reptile room is looking great as well, thanks for sharing

 

[Stuart]

Very nice mate, well done

 

[treeofgreen]

They the enclosures you made Dreaper? looks good mate! Im jelly

 

[The_Geeza]

Very nice mate...1 thing tho ...think the jungles would appreciate more elivation as in verticl enclosures instead of horizontal...tho perfect for your BHP

 

[disintegratus]

Very nice, I bet your neighbours wonder what the hell is going on at your house, 1 room with a red light all night every night... Mine wonder too
