Finished the enclosure in preparation for the arrival of my new Panther on Tuesday from Chameleons Northwest. I found a damaged kitchen base cabinet at Lowes for $40 and put a 3/4" plywood top on it. I elevated the enclosure bottom 1/4" at the corners and then secured it to the cabinet top, in the center, with a single screw and washer in the very center thus causing any liquid to run to the center. I then drilled holes around the center screw and ran 3" pieces of 1/2" PVC down through each hole, these feed to a catch pan in the top drawer of the cabinet. I have the Dual bulb light fixture running a 35 and 50 watt spot basking lights and a 5.0 UVB Reptisun and Reptiflora completes the lighting which comes on at 8 AM and off at 8 PM. The basking area runs from 85 to 96 degrees, mid enclosure runs from 79 to 82 degrees and the lower enclosure stays at room temp which is 74 degrees. Humidity is maintained between 50% and 65% with a dual nozzle Mist King running for 2 minutes at 10Am, 1PM and 5pm. There are 3 live plants and lots of artificial vines and fowledge. Any suggestions on what else I need or adjustments are appreciated.
