New ideas to make your life easier
Hey what is something that isn't sold that would make your life easier as a reptile breeder/hobbyist. Or even something that is in the market today, but not quite up to your expectations. Anything goes there is no stupid ideas!

An automated enclosure that monitors and adapts temps and humidity plus collects and removes waste and refills water bowls.

Re: New ideas to make your life easier
If I could think of it, I would invent it and make money off it...

As far as climate control that wouldn't be that difficult. Thermostats and heating options. Hygrostat hooked to a humidifier/dehumidifier. Even self filling water bowls could be done via water level sensor system hooked to a waterline coming from the bottom of the bowl. Although I feel hygiene would be an issue. But now the interesting part would be the self cleaning substrate... But I thought we already solved this. Well established bioactive substrate.

Snakes are easy. Make my life easier by inventing a way to get my 12 year old to turn in his math homework!

Re: New ideas to make your life easier
I'd like to see a weighted stainless water bowl with vertical sides so the snake can't flip it. In different sizes. I think there are some out there but I haven't found them exactly like this.
An extended gripping handle on an arm that can grasp the water bowl for removal from the cage, and putting it back in. This would be for hots and animals that are very aggressive.
A cage that has lighting and heat built in with no exposed cables wires or probes.
Long tweezers for feeding that have a mechanical advantage to hold the food item easier. (requires less force to hold the rodent without dropping)
I'm not a fan of cages with sliding doors, but would like to see one with a better way to lock the doors. A built in latch/lock system of some kind.
A line of high quality artificial plants made specifically for animal enclosures. They would hold up well under the abuse of feces and cleaning. They would be available in species that look more like plants from the animals native habitat. A mounting system that secures them to the cage sides would be useful.
Better artificial perches for arboreal cages that don't cost a fortune. Also a better mounting system for real and artificial perches.
An adapter that fits over the opening of glass tanks that has a sliding or hinged door made onto it so the tank can be laid on its side and used as a conventional enclosure.
An accurate hygrometer that is reasonably priced and works like a temp gun, point and shoot for a reading.
Inexpensive thermal image camera.

Re: New ideas to make your life easier
A dietary pill that when ingested would cause people to not put so much emphasis on morphs and just appreciate a certain species for what it is and not the $$ that it can bring in from overbreeding and overselling.
