so i just went out and bought
-digital thermometer w/probe
-habitat sanitizer spray
-a new heat lamp/100 wat bulb (for my ball he did have a 150 watt but thats too much)
-a timer to regulate day/night schedules
-aspen bedding for my corn
-2 pack of frozen adult mouse for a f/t test (usually feed live)
and i got some plexi glass to cover that wire mesh on my tanks for better humidity
any other ideas?

sure, i would love to fly down, you pay the flight ill build all the cages you want :) check out the encloser thread, i posted pics of the last 3 i built. this time im using white mallemine, im out of work and it was half the price of the oak grain looking stuff :) and i need to build this cage because i paid for a sav monitor 2 months back im getting in a few days at the reptile expo so getting a new cage all set up for his arrival :) i plan to just do all of them out of white now and sell the other 2 my carpets are in as i messed them up and went 4' tall instead of wide, i might just use it as an excuse to get 2 gtp tho lol

here they are, the glass one i built a couple years ago, i took it down and am now using the glass to make all my other cages, and the one with cabnet doors is 2 cages side by side.

Nice cages Freebody! I was in cabinet making awhile back, so I could easily build them, I'm just too darn lazy.:no: I think it would be good fun to get together with some of the forum members.:yes:

Thank you :) dont blame yourself, im real lazy 2, the glass cage is aluminum welded together and powder coated, looks good, but it was a hair brain idea that cost and took way to much effort to build LOL. It would be sweet to meet up with the people here after chatting back and forth. i think i might run into mark at gonesnakee at this upcoming show but im not 100%, but that will be pretty cool.
