New PVC stack

[Stewjoe]

I just got my custom PVC stack from Greg @ Cornel's World Terrariums. It's so nice for everything to be out of a rack.

Temps stabilizing, it took a few hours for the PVC to warm up and heat to distribute/measure properly.

Thermal vision was extremely handy in setting up the heat.

Exterior view, doesn't penetrate the doors.

Placing the probes, you can see the heat coming through the 40w radiant heat panel on the cage below.

Right divided cage, heat still penetrates from the 80w panel below even after 3/8" spacers

Far right quad divided, these only have heat tape.

Second quad from right. The glowing blob on the back is the LED transformer behind the cage.

thats awesome man :Wow:

how many wall outlets does a system like that require?

[Kid Boa]

Wicked. :)

[Stewjoe]

thats awesome man :Wow:

Two; one for a timer power bar to control the lighting (5 total outlets) then a surge protector power bar for the two herpstats. There's three wires per cage and 8 cages; heat, light and probe. It is pretty busy behind the stack but everything is neat and secured with zip ties and adhesive anchors. The quad divided bin's LEDs are all powered by one transformer which saves wiring and space.

Awesome! You have some cool electronic devices as well!

[Donnie]

Impressive, most impressive

The thermal camera is not mine, I borrowed it. I have an infrared thermometer for day to day checks.

[LarryS]

That is a nice looking stack of cages. Very nice.

That was sweet though!

[alessia55]

Wow... absolutely fantastic setup. I hope to have one just like it one day!

[formica]

thats baller man! definately keep us updated on maintenance,upgrades,changes etc.. :freakedout:

[Stewjoe]

Well this setup should be totally maintenance free. I might add some perches to one of the quad bins depending on if I can get a baby GTP. The two left bins are empty. Unfortunately for my wallet the snakes in this cage will outgrow the smaller ones. I have a GTP setup in my mind for a display; 2' wide X 2' deep, 2' tall stand hiding the misting system and herpstat 2, 4' tall PVC cage with UV lighting for bright colours, lots of perches, rock background, heat panel, automated misting and acrylic sides.

Some more pics of everyone settling in.

Wow! Awesome setup! :cool:

[swolek]

Very nice, I'd love to do something like that!

[Terranaut]

In the last shot is the snake on the power cord? I had this happen too. Easy fix. They have great little brackets at Homedepot that screw on and hold the cable very snug. Cost about $4 for a bag if I remember right.

[Stewjoe]

He is on the temp probe. I fixed it already.

[drumcrush]

I love the jungle jag! Soooo cool.

[MizCandice]

Im so JELLY! It is awesome, love how you double checked with the thermal view :O

[Brett943]

Very nice setup! What does this use for heating? Back heat?

The 4 larger cages use radiant heat panels, the smaller 4 use belly heat tape.

Ahh ok that makes more sense.

Thanks
