Thank you for being concerned. I really do appreciate it and I will look into better alternatives. I really think that his conditions will not be problematic for respiratory infection as humidity is monitored and airflow is good and moisture is not hanging around. However I will be looking...

I may consider something less grassy tho, so maybe you’ve changed my mind a little. I’ll see what’s out there.

I see what you are saying with the nooks and crannies. I’m not sure I’m concerned enough to change my system though. Maybe it because as a nurse I believe worrying too much about absolutely pristine conditions creates people (and animals) that have built no immunity to help them when they need...

So why would cleaning the bare floor be any more hygienic than washing the fake grass?

Yes, Although not specifically for reptiles its fake grass carpet. I don't know if this bothers you less but it provides drainage. Water does not sit on top. His poop does, and dead crickets do, and falling leaves do. But it's easily removeable and washable, which is why I like it. That...

Maybe self preservation is not a big consideration for these guys? Thank goodness they have us!

I'm so happy to have provided you with ideas! I used mini blinds on Normans last enclosure. The cat has destroyed those. Bu I still loved the directionality too. The cats are bad enough, but Norman also enjoys taunting the cats when he sees them. Literally would come down from his perch and...

If you or anyone lives near SE Iowa I have a spare curio similar to this one ready to be a chameleon house! I purchased it used then found this slightly bigger one and abandoned the original work piece. Now I don't know what the heck I'm going to do with it...lol

Haha I wasn't sure I could pull off the white either, but my desk on the opposite side of the room is white with different wood stained drawers. Very mid century modern. i was going for a match to that look, since it had to be painted to hide the fact I built on to it. I cleverly chose a white...

I wasn't sure I was going to like the shutters when I first started adding them. They seemed clunky and I wanted a smother slightly more modern look....but I liked the IDEA of them, and they protect the screen behind them from cat claws....then I got the idea to flip them around....you are...

I got bored and needed a project so Norman (veiled male 2yrs old) got a cage upgrade. Basically found a cool curio cabinet used, and built out the back (since it was only 10 " deep) adding airflow via screen and some repurposed antique louvered shutters (keeps the cats off the screens and...

I'm a bit chicken I won't get a safe type of housing if I don't buy something specifically designed to handle the heat.

I guess I’m not aware of what the choices are for heating bulbs . Can I use other stuff besides something that says For reptiles on it lol?

I've been using a dome light (the larger size double, not the mini) with some type of heat bulb plus a regular just light bulb, for Norman to bask under and it's been great. However for my new build there's less hidden space up top and I'd prefer something much more low profile. What's out...

Now looking into Silica cat litter....Claims resistant to mold and bacteria, but would it absorbent enough.....Dare I experiment? I figure The mist-king is putting out close to a liter a day. I'd love to lay out a tray full of cat litter and pour a liter a day into it, but I'm afraid my cats...

Nvm, I'm reading they mold! So much for ideas!

I'm just having one of those Hmmm moments as I'm considering drainage options for my new enclosure build. My current and unproblematic setup has water draining through a screen bottom into a tray, which then drains water to a 2 gallon bucket via a funnel like system below the enclosure. I have...

Thank you! I am planning for a full length drain tray in the back, so should just need the front to back tilt to create the water movement needed. Glad to hear there has been success and I can trust this stuff.

So your only concern about just using the flex seal is dry time? I have all the time necessary, so I'd love to skip the resin step if I could.

Thank you so much for this information. I think I like the idea of slightly flexible.
