Set-up process pics!

[Genesis Pythons]

Getting these enclosures set up a week before the chams arrived was the best advice ever! Gave me loads of time to tweak things to make sure everything was just right.

Initial setup right after putting the cages together:
reptibreeze cages
umbrella plants
reptisun 5.0
2 household 6500K CFLs
75 watt basking spot lamps

More foliage added:

The finished product!
drainage system built
drip system added
white plastic added to the back to prevent over spray

Hanging out in the new place

Hope you enjoy!

wow! that looks great

it does look great! You should add more weed leafs on the other corners that way he feels no one can see him except through the front. My crested gecko likes the weed ones better than other ones because she hides in them better

I see no drainage system?

I see no drainage system?

You can't see the drainage system in the pic. I have the cages tilted backwards slightly, so extra water all flows towards and out of the back of the cages. I then installed a length of eavestrough behind the cages that the water falls into. The eavestrough is also tilted slightly so that the water runs to one side of it. At the lower end, I drilled a large hole in the bottom and attached a funnel to it. A length of tubing then runs from the funnel to a large pail that can be emptied when needed. Works great for my reptile room, and only cost around $40!

Nice set ups. What kind of plastic did you use for overspray?

 

[Genesis Pythons]

Just white, corrugated plastic sheets from home depot. They cost me around $3.50 for an 18 x 24 sheet.
