BARTMAN:

Do you know how many leopards were killed to make that chair in that room?

LOL...............joking.

Great job indeed, take your dad out for a burger or an ice cream or a beer (if you can drink at 15 - 16) he did a great job.

Lol thanks tony.

Mark, I found those rubbermaids at a Canadian Tire near my house. They didnt have ANY clear, but only the clearblack shown. They are not totally black but I like them so much better then the clear. Not for me, but I think it makes the animals feel even more secure. They had all the common sizes you'd normally find, and are almost out. Maybe I should clear em out


When I have time later tonight, ill try and post some pics of the rheostat, heat tape, and my idea

Bartman, your room reminds me of mine when I was a teenager. My grandparents got me into reptiles about 36 years ago. I probably didn't need any pushing but they did introduce me to herps by bringing me a toad home from up north. I then started keeping red eared sliders, newts, frogs and when my father bought me an Iguana from Towers dept. store for $4.00 I thought I was a hardcore herper of 8 yrs of age. I now have my own home, kids, wife and a dedicated reptile room, life is sweet; Happy New Year! Paul.

[Bartman]

looks great bartman, think your dad freakd when he seen your bp shoulda seen my mom and grandma when i moved back home, they actually thought my 3ft burm was huge and a serious threat to everyone here LOL and my two boas were just to much for one person to own...they soon just gave up on tryn to get me to get rid of all my animals and support my hobby ....ahh good times good times

Here is my rheostat, that has been working GREAT for day 1 Im getting a steady 89-91 depending on my room temp. It was made from a bunch of spare parts from my garage as you can see lol..i didnt have a good cover for the dimmer part..but its all good



Here is the back of the rack. I covered the back with silver insulator so that the heat would travel into the rack, instead of losing so much heat out the back. This would also require the thermostat to be lower and probably have less probability of it burning the wood or leaving yellow marks.



Thanks everyone!
