    Easiest DIY Enclosure EVER!!

    Easiest DIY Enclosure EVER!!

    hrmm.. Ya but now your getting into a spot where the average user cannot build this LOL. welding the tube to the top and bottom and incorporating some sort of frame around the door itself would work great though. It would mean the tube itself still has proper support since there is a hard...

    Easiest DIY Enclosure EVER!!

    Easiest DIY Enclosure EVER!!

    I don't know if I ever saw hers or not. I kept seeing these deals with the upside down flower pots and PVC pipe running up the middle to connect the pots. Then screen wrapped around it. I kind of took that idea and the look and layout from the Chameleon Canopies and ran with it. I wanted...

    question.

    I would not leave it on all night. They need darkness for proper sleep and it also effects other aspects of their body. A proper sleep cycle is important for their health. I would turn it off. The good thing is starting fresh in the morning you will have a new uvb light on
