Hey, so I am on the cusp of starting a smallish scale, breeding project, with a few different species.
The OG plan was to use glass, as Everyone knows I am fond of glass, however being that the only misnomer in my species, is Panthers, who will tolerate the 60-75% humidity that the other species require, and all the plants and animals hail from the same general areas in Madagascar, its seemingly like a better option, is the one place the screen cage excels imo. So my thoughts have shifted, from using glass enclosures, to using fully screen enclosures and turning the entire room, into a giant Madagascan Rainforest.
The only variance then becomes heating per species, which I can deal with Via, placement and heating lights, which again we see the same "Ambient" needed across the board, with some species wanting a basking spot. I feel like I will be wasting time and money, trying to climate control each viv, when I can just do the whole room.
Has anyone done this? I realize there will likely need to be modification made, and specialty done to the room to ensure a good setup. I am curious the best way to cool the room, heat the room, control humidity (was thinking a big ole fogger) and of course a Ceiling fan to move the air, but what about paints? Should I paint the walls a special way? Any Sealing? Airflow to the rest of the house, or seal it off? ect.
