Thanks, we are hand watering at least weekly and there is a drip system that auto waters daily. I'll give the pothos a shot.

The basking bulb/ledge temps are about 83 and the planter just under it is around 80. The cham is doing just fine, it's the plants that aren't happy :)

Thanks, all. I had a pothos there but it didn't make it. It could be that I started with too small of one and it wasn't strong enough to take the heat. I will try that again and also look into the Schefflera. Many thanks!

Hi All. So far so good with the enclosure and our veiled seems happy and healthy. One thing I'm having trouble with is finding cham safe plants that can handle the high heat of the 75w basking bulb. See attached for pic. The planter is ±12" from the bulb. Any recommendations would be...

Thanks @Beman, that is a good idea. I am considering just building a new top which may be simpler than cutting the existing and would be an easier transition.

Changing out those vines isn't goign to be easy as they are part of the internal structure of how everything inside is stable. I need to figure out how to do it. The primary challenge with the top is that the four sides are not structrually sound without that top part being conneceted and...

Thought I'd post a quick update on progress an enclosure improvements. Here are some updated pics. So far: - UVA/UVB Upgrade to Arcadia T5 - Fans upgraded to larger 100mm units both that pull from the top vents - Lower planter pulled forward to allow more airflow - Fogger ports now run to...

Yes, potentially, I will figure something out. Will be starting some improvements today.

I’d be concerned that it would compromise the integrity of the structure, but will look closer at that idea. Thanks again for all the help. New UVB light should arrive next week!

That makes sense. Given the construction of the enclosure I need to keep the top panel intact, but I can likely cut much more out of it to improve the airflow while maintining the integrity of the enclosure. The most realistic way to accomplish this may be cutting out holes with a hole saw...

yes, confirmed. Aluminum screen under lights.

Got it, I misunderstood the intention of the jungle dawns, I thought they were UVA/UVB. Will stick with the Arcardia T5 6%.

To clarify, are these LED versions not intended to replace the Arcadia T5 UVB fixtures as proposed to replace what I have now? That is what I was considering as I only have the single slot for a bar style fixture.

Since I'm ordering a new higher end fixture I'm curious on thoughts related to these Jungle Dawn LED options? I had considered them prior. Curious to get your take? I like the fact they may not need to be replaced like the tubes do and without a solarometer I'm not sure how to know when the...

Noted, I was wondering if the fixture was the correct type. I'm not sure it's viable to increase the size at this stage though as I'd need to recut the top cutout which may not be doable. I will measure and see but I'm concerned it may run into the support corners. Will get the T5 kit either way.
