I live in Canada, but we still had Fiona and now Nicole is headed our way. :-( But definitely not so bad up here. :-)

Hi- I have the same terrarium. Have you checked your UVB output with a Solarmeter? When I did this I found that my basking branch had to be just 6" below the screen to get the required UVI of 3, not the 8" they use with a Reptibreeze, and I had to raise the tube above the screen about 2" to...

I have just finished setting up a hybrid with screen top and mostly screen sides. My ambient humidity in the room is 60-70 percent. With the basking light, the UV and the plant light on in the enclosure my humidity is, at the moment- 2pm- in my bioactive- 92% on the very bottom in the shade of...

Exactly! :)

Mine is just black on one side and silver on the other. Think I will just order the Pro kit for reptiles - then if it is either the bulb or the reflector I should be ok. I'll use this reflector with a plant bulb for the plants. Thanks for your help!

Wow! Maybe that's the problem. Thanks! I think mine is the same as the one in that thread but 6%.

Mine had a blue protective film on it which I removed. It is mirrored underneath. But, although it is a Nanotech T5 Reflector by SUnblaster it is not the PRO one and it was designed for horticultural use. It doesn't quite cover the bulb. It is 39 watt high output full spectrum but my guess is...

Yes, those readings were not through the screen. I took a reading outside at about 3 pm , just pointing it straight ahead, not at the sun, and it was 1...but we are in Canada, and it was slightly cloudy. If we get a nice day tomorrow I'll check it. Right now reads 0 outside. It is 5:30 pm with...

UVI 2 =6" UVI .8 = 10.5" UVI .2 = 21" sigh. Thank you, Beman!!!

It is a Reptizoo knockdown hybrid. It just says "metal". I'll ask them...

Metal. With no screen it is 4.1 when I take a reading 3" below the light.

I am setting up my enclosure and my solarmeter 6.5 came today. I have an arcadia 39w 6% UVB T5 HO in a Nanotech Sunblaster reflector. Here are my Solarmeter readings... touching the bulb - 34 directly under the screen with bulb 1/4 inch above it- 14 3" below screen - 3.1 6" below screen- 1.3 12"...

Well, dang!!! That's disappointing!!! Thanks for sharing that link. sigh.

Thanks! Yes, I have been pouring over the husbandry program. It is excellent! I wish we had access to his cages.

I spoke to ZEN about this and the enclosures are not particle board. Someone else with this habitat on the forum had also indicated it was more like a dense foam. Below is the reply from Zen. I had been thinking that particle board is usually really heavy too. " Our PVC panels are a bamboo...

The Zen cage above is 4' high x 4' wide x 2' deep...so that would be big enough for an adult? It does have a screen at the bottom of the front glass doors about 10" so that should work for the chimney effect...?

I am on a waiting list for a panther chameleon- my first chameleon- and looking at enclosures. I am in Canada- Nova Scotia- so no access to the variety available south but I have found two that I think will work. We are in an apartment with heat pumps so the air doesn't dry as much in the winter...
