Hello all the name's Matt, I'm 20 years old born and raised in Dallas, TX. I'm a student aiming for a career in the studio audio recording industry and my other passion is motorsports, I have a 300zx that's sees the track quite often. Enough about me...
I've been lurking the boards the last couple of months and soaking up information, which there is plenty around here it seems. I've decided to get a male veiled in the next week or so, most likely from Julirs if she still has one left which from the way it sounds she will. The last few days I've been building his cage. It's 36"X24"X18" wooden 2X2 frame that have been stained/sealed, fiberglass window screen, with a tile floor, and drainage system. The next projects are a misting system using a rubbermaid tub, a small pond pump, an aquarium heater and a couple of misting heads/nozzles I've found around the house (which ever one works out the best) and a ultrasonic fogger system to keep the humidity up, it's about 45% where the cage is going to be and I'm moving out to Phoenix, AZ late next spring and it's gonna be even drier out there. The plan for that system is a floating ultrasonic fogger in a rubbermaid tub with a fan pointed into the tub that will push the fog up through a funnel connected to a line that is connected to the drain. The actual drain line is level with the lowest part drain cup and the fog line ends a good two inches above the bottom of the drain cup. Everything will be on timers and as automated as possible as far as environmental control. I deceided to tile the floor for ease of cleaning. Here's the pics, sorry for the poor quality 1st gen macbook built in cameras suck...
I bought a ficus ben. and a pothos, notice the holder for the pot in the cage, and a hibiscus will join the scene soon. I still need to order a repti-sun 5.0 bulb, supplements and some flexible vines. I just need to get it all together so I can get the temperatures and timing of the systems worked out. Plan is to also get a cricket colony going soon. That's it I guess, all comments and criticism are very welcome. I don't want to get anything wrong, but I feel very confident that I've done my homework. This site, the kitty site and the chameleonnews site have been very informative. I'll post up more pics of the cage using my sister's camera in the enclosure section, hopefully complete with all systems working by late next week. Thanks for reading....
