bloody hell mate if its to big let me know ill buy it lol

looks great top job but what are the dimensions of the waterfall
 
Looks great - wish I was creative enough to do something like this!

Are you planning on putting a Stimmie in with a waterfall and fish??
 
just a word of warning...styrofoam is NOT waterproof so seal it all even from the top...then seal it again...then seal it again. Use proper waterbased sealer not paint...cheers
 
An enclosure with a waterfall that you will keep a stimmie in?
 
hi everyone thanks for replies so far :) sorry item is not for sale but once i am done with this one i will be planning on making more ....., i am yet to apply 4 cotes of coloured tile grout and i found a product called pontite at bunnings ,(a pond sealer non-toxic) with 3 to 4 cotes of pontite i am certain it will be waterproof and harmless to my gorgeous stimmy the feature will stand 600mm high by 500mm wide took me just over 5 hours to get it this far this morning yet needing alot more expanda foam and work will post more pictures when i am grouting thanks guys

I asked above to clarify as it's not clear from your posts, so are you planning on putting a Stimmie into that enclosure?

It's not a good idea to put a Stimmie in an enclosure with a waterfall in it. Take a look at the husbandry requirements of your python - humidity would be the first thing I'd be looking at ;)
 
yes it will house a stimmy and with humidity i have computer chassis fans that will be installed one top and one bottom each working in a one flow motion to circulate air through the enclosure so the hot air isnt sitting still

maybe you could constuctively point out why his suggestion won't work or suggest how it could be improved, or do you like to keep your knowledge to yourself ! !
 
Good to see people constantly doing the wrong thing with their husbandry. It keeps all the Vets in business!

Great idea with the waterfall in the Stimmie enclosure. Put some live plants and some baby fruit bats in there too! I will look like a real rain forest!
 
Mate I think what people trying to say is that just keep it simple. You don't need to elaborate so much. hot side 31-33 on one side of the tank and leave the side of the tank room temperature. You don't need a computer fan to make the WHOLE enclosure hot.

...and not to mention all the reasons you don't house a Stimmie in an enclosure with a waterfall in it!!
