Re: Finally the build is done!
I do like a build thread when it's already been built!
It looks awesome! What are the ledges finished in?

Re: Finally the build is done!
That does look like the dogs danglies and credit to you for putting so much effort into your enclosure. I do feel that the addition of some shelters where he could hide away would be of real benefit.

Re: Finally the build is done!
Hi, I`ve never heard of that lighting (Utilitech 18-watt), what are they exactly (heat + light, or compact fluorescent emitting a limited ammount of heat)?
Can you give me the usual room temps the enclosure`s in (both day and night)?

I think its just a full spectrum bulb to mimic daylight light wavelengths. If it does provide heat I doubt its much being only 18 watts.

Its common to see a replacement wattage on bulb packaging now. It just means that you recieve the same lumen output as the 75 W with only 18 watts. It won't provide the same heat however if its anything like the ones I have you can probably grab and twist it off the fixture without it being too hot for your hand.

Re: Finally the build is done!
Yes there not as hot as there supposed to be....Good point! So i went and got two 100w made by Zilla and a 90watt heat emitter! I cant tell you how hot it just got in a matter of a few minutes. Basking spots went up 20 degrees even the air ambient and humidity. Shoot i gotta have more caution or someone who understands english better then i do!Thanks guys,we live and learn! Now besides the storage part being incomplete.I can say it's near perfect!

100 watts is pretty high, watch the temps carefully and the humidity. If it dries out very quickly I wouldn't keep using them. Your best bet for basking is what most people here use, 45-55 watt halogen flood light bulbs. They are low wattage but provide a concentrated area of high heat so you don't dry out the air. Put a few in a row, and voila. Just remember to make sure the cage isn't drying out too fast and keep them on a thermostat, thats alot of wattage.
