chondro enclosure thread

[Waterrat]

Obviously, I haven got a clue about slate characteristics. When you said it absorbs moisture I thought hmmm, that's not ideal for a chondro enclosure but if it releases the moisture back into the enclosure - that's a different thing. Looking forward to seeing some pics.

How much do your enclosures weigh? surely it would weigh quiet a bit.

 

[ramzee86]

is that a converted bar fridge?

haha it looks like it doesnt it but no its not.

My idea of a chondro setup, fully automatic humidity control, no misting, largely automated cleaning too. It's the first in our range of dedicated GTP enclosures.

Nice set up Jason , how hot do those panels get to touch ?

 

[Moreliavridis]

Nice set up mate.

Dickyknee surprisingly they are not actually that hot. That was my first thought so I ran them for a while and put my hand on it and it wasn't that bad. I use them in most of my enslosures now.

I'll put my temp gun on I tonight when I get home.

 

[dickyknee]

Cheers Jason , was curious as to how well they heat , they look like a good product and the price isn't to bad either.
What size panel are you using ?

 

[Just_Plain_Nuts]

What brand? of panels are they and how much

I am fairly sure they are ProHerp panels Index

 

[Moreliavridis]

Yeah they are pro herp 40w heat pannels. The perch is about 200m from the heat pad and directly under the heat pad is 32 degrees.

Surface temp on the pad with the heat gun was 82 degrees. You can hold your hand on the surface and not burn it! They are a great product!

Really, 200m? :lol:

 

[Moreliavridis]

Yeah my enclosures are massive! haha

I ment 200mm.
