Yay!, Komet got his big boy cage today

[SonTigerPantherCham]

I use a simple shower curtain, cut to size and then use the panel screws to secure it.
I have gone to 48" hoods from Home Depot, they are 20.00 for a 2 bulb fixture. I put a 6500k on one side, 5.0 zoo med the other. I also apply reflective tape on the inside, it increases lighting alot.

Natalie and Patrick, thank you by the way
And yeah, the matching thing keeps me calm

Great looking cages!! Komet must me happy.

 

[SonTigerPantherCham]

Hi Jon, how goes it?
He seems pretty happy!. Alot more mobile than I thought he would be out the gate.
How's Chance doing?

Yea , they like new space to explore.
And Chance is doing great. I can't believe the difference in colors from day to day.

Rob, I would love to get my smaller plants onto stands, can you take a pic so I know what to look for?.
I also put my reflective tape in the hoods, now my reads are even higher!!

Here are the stands. Please excuse the messy floors, they were already asleep when I got home so I just snapped a couple pictures. The second also shows a laying bin.

Thank you Rob!, that would bring up the height and help with drainage

That's a nice cage rack you have, but you'll have to update the pics again when you have it all matching............then you'll have to find somewhere to put 2 black cages (what are you going to put in them? )

 

[pablothepanther]

Good thing is, I see improvements I need to make (tree height, for instance) in one I am replacing. So I will wait and do it only once

What kind of trees are those? They almost look like spider plant trees, but i didn't know there was such a thing. they look like great additions to your well crafted enclosures.

 

[SonTigerPantherCham]

Hey David, how are you?
Well it will be one of three things:
Throw them out or give them away
Use them for sunning cages
or start another row of all black

They are "song of india" trees. In the draecena family. Safe, do well (1has been in a cage for a year) in cages

*giggle* at first I didn't see "cage" just the "rack", I tell ya, sometimes my mind just wanders all by itself!

 

[Eltortu]

Nice set up you have there Anne. Are they all male Panthers?

 

[SonTigerPantherCham]

Hey R, yes they are.
I am looking at a Kammer banja and/or a faly...of course
Parsons is my next endeavor

Out of all the cages out there the ones from LLL are the best. I do agree the only fault is the 2x2x4 doesn't have a full door opening. I don't like how the DIY cages dont have a bottom door for cleaning but other than that they are good. As far as the Reptibreeze well..... I could get booted for the language I would use to describe the overpriced, poorly made general hunk of S$&*% they are. LOL

 

[robmd1]

LOL anne my cages would drive you crazy then cause i have alil of everything, color of the cage makes no diff to me or the chams...

 

[SonTigerPantherCham]

Oh, I so agree about the zoomeds, I have bitched about them here time and time again
Rob, I have a little ocd in me. All the labels in my pantry are faced forward, I could go on
I even bought a silver hood first, painted it black so it would match my black cages. But it wouldn't turn on, so I threw it in the pile

LOL when I got home with those DIY cages from Pomona I thought my wife was going to be upset I bought more cages. Instead she wanted to know why I didn't buy more...."now they wont match" Your not alone

 

[suzi]

Lookin' good

Ahahahahahah @ the labels in your pantry I won't even get into how I used to have my clothes color coordinated from lightest shades to darkest, tanks to tees to long with all hangers having to match

How goes it girlfriend, I have been a lil busy, and really want a chameleon playmate!

 

[SonTigerPantherCham]

See?, this is why we were instant friends, I do the exact same thing with my clothes
Dillan only wears sox 1 time. Yep that's right, a new pair of sox everyday
How are the new, new babies?

Rob?? You didn't run and buy more? And more babies???
