Mose, your cages look awesome! Also, I love the long tongue on your boxer in your avatar

Kiljosh, your final product looks really, really good. I'm impressed! I'm so jealous of all of you and your ability for carpentry and craftsmanship

Re: Modifying my 20gallon tank for more floor space

Lol zero carpentry skill required!

All I did was glue some hinges, measure things(actually used a dollar bill ), and drilled holes!

I got his tanks background on and have been troubleshooting failing cement, anything I epoxy'ed has stayed put but the superglue-like glass cement is not working out...

It's fine though, I expected this. My real problem at this point is the humidity is too high I believe. The dude at Petsmart looked up the humidity info for Kingsnakes and I was told 30-50%. Currently it's at 65% so my task today is to figure out how I'm going to get that lower without just putting a smaller water bowl in. It's not above the UTH's, it right in the middle and I have the UTH's secured to the back right corner. The only thing I've come up with so far is either A)Drill more vent holes or B)Use an old computer case fan mounted over a few vent holes to circulate the air more. My room is at an almost constant 40-50% humidity so I think more airflow should do it. However powering this small fan is another problem. I thought of wiring a 9v battery to it and see if it'll run the fan. I don't think these things see more than 5 volts from a powersupply in a PC so 9volts should get it to run at max speed(I Hope). The only question is how long will it run before I have to change the battery and will it even solve my problem haha. So anyone have any suggestions that don't involve me drilling the glass?

Heres a pic of the cage as it now sits, still no retaining wall for substrate...


And heres it's occupant!


Might as well make him a profile now too, thanks to brylecc1989 for an awesome little guy! I will give him a happy home Check my sig for the link to his pics, I have named him Noodle!
