Very nice! Can't wait to see them set up!

Yes, be sure to post photos when they're set up!

I have been eyeing that enclosure how long did it take for them to ship to you

[Sharlynn93]

Got them at the expo...loaded them into my compact car....good thing my back seat folds down!

Still need 1 hide in the bottom enclosure but she is still using it in her tank, plus their water bowls, but here they are so far...

Nice enclosures, those multicolor LED's are pretty cool.

[Sharlynn93]

There are a lot of settings on them too. I really like them!

Lookin good! I love the leds !:)

[Sharlynn93]

thank you! :D just need to install the thermostats and they are ready to roll!

Very nice enclosures Sharlynn. What substrate are you using?

[Sharlynn93]

its a mix of eco-earth and coco-husk...found them both in compressed bricks...I only used half the water, though, I don't like to have to squeeze it out...once I find some pure cypress in smaller pieces, I may mix some of that in as well...

Like the RHP's! your snakes will like em too!:) Are those wooden enclosures or plastic?

[Sharlynn93]

they are melamine enclosures...I wanted 40w RHP's but he was out, so I grabbed 80...figured when we get enclosures for the higher temp snakes, we will get the 40's then and then switch them out, if need be...it was only $20 more for the 80w, so no big deal, there...I already have a 40 for my GTP (when he finally gets here...ugh)...so I haven't had any true RHP "experience"...LOL...but I hear they are "the way to go"! so excited to see the difference! I worry about "thermal blocking" with the UTH's since some of mine are in glass tanks...but once I am done, my corns, garter, and 1 other one may be the only ones left in glass...we may even upgrade them...we will see :) hubby wants matching enclosures for everyone...LOL

Lol, I want 2 more t10's so mine will all match! The 40 watt rhp's effective heating distance is about 12 inches, the 80's will be much more efficient for taller and larger enclosures. The 40's work great in my t10's that are 15 inches tall with about 3 inches of substrate.

the rainbows only need an 82-84 hot spot...(I believe his name is Mark) from boa master said the 40 would work, but I'm not afraid to keep the 80's if others think they are better for the enclosure size...our others require 88-90ish hot spots so 80's are definitely the way to go, because their enclosures will be the same size, MAYBE a bit higher if we can find them that size affordable...I think he does custom sizes, but I don't want to pay double for 6 more inches of height...that will probably be next year, anyway...so not toooo concerned just yet...LOL

Don't you love it! It never ends!:D

[Sharlynn93]

yes, i DO love it! LOL...next we are ordering some live plants, springtails, etc...going bioactive for these 2 at least...see how it goes...if we like it, we will go that route for most of them, I think...
