tank upgrades

so i just went out and bought
-digital thermometer w/probe
-habitat sanitizer spray
-a new heat lamp/100 wat bulb (for my ball he did have a 150 watt but thats too much)
-a timer to regulate day/night schedules
-aspen bedding for my corn
-2 pack of frozen adult mouse for a f/t test (usually feed live)

and i got some plexi glass to cover that wire mesh on my tanks for better humidity

any other ideas?

Re: tank upgrades

Nice cages Freebody! I was in cabinet making awhile back, so I could easily build them, I'm just too darn lazy. I think it would be good fun to get together with some of the forum members.

Re: tank upgrades

Thank you dont blame yourself, im real lazy 2, the glass cage is aluminum welded together and powder coated, looks good, but it was a hair brain idea that cost and took way to much effort to build LOL. It would be sweet to meet up with the people here after chatting back and forth. i think i might run into mark at gonesnakee at this upcoming show but im not 100%, but that will be pretty cool.
