Post a pic of the viv to help us help you better

[mattlawdi]

I will take pics a soon as i can !! it is going to be for an Amazon tree boa :)

Risky, but you can cut a small hole for the cord and have the emitter inside the tank with a guard on it. Pictures will help though

I wonder.. is it Glass or acrylic? If its acrylic It would be much easier and acrylic looks like glass.

ok so this is my plan !! i am thinking of dividing this viv in two (thinking of getting another ATB both small) !! the viv is going to be turned so i can make sliding doors in some way !! my problem is how can i fit a CHE to heat the divided viv ? its glass not acrylic .

Ok I wouldn't put a Che in the fish tank. It doesn't have the height that you will need for it plus good space for the ATB. It also looks like a 10 gallon? correct me if Im wrong but I dont see this being a good choice for 2 ATB's.

its not a fish tank !! it was the first tank i built for a corn snake , and the ATBs are going to be small not adult once ~~ i dont known in gallons but the dimension od the tank are 3x1.5x1.5 feet !! thx for you info.

3 x 1.5 x 1.5 makes it a little bigger than a 40g breeder and a little smaller than a 50g.
TBH it would probably be easier to make an enclosure built around a CHE

sorry but didnt understand what did you mean by "TBH it would probably be easier to make an enclosure built around a CHE" thx

Ok so Its bigger than it appears in the pictures but I still think its a bad option for 2 ATB's I was judging the size off the water dish and planter/hide.

Would it be good for one ?? or do i have to build a new one ?? which sounds the best idea , and any suggestion on which type of material to use ?? to build an ATB cage ???

[youngster]

I was saying it *might* be easier (but more expensive) to make another enclosure instead of trying to modify this one to work.

Kk I am with you now. Never heard of the abbreviation before. I had a 150 watt one on my beardie it lasted a whole 3 days before my son pulled it off. The pet store refunded my money and wrote it off as damaged during shipping.
