Looking good. Can't wait to see the final master piece.

Just a little more progress. Got top screen on back board urethaned and mounted. Some manzanita branches in the mail. Still need to do foam background, mount home made mister system, mount doors and screen sides. Slow but making progress here and there.

I would recommend using Type 304 Stainless Steel 8x8 Mesh .017" Dia. Wire .108" opening from a local wire cloth warehouse I used Universal Wire Cloth Co.. You don't have to use stainless steel, it will cost less to use aluminium or just steel. The 8x8 mesh will allow more light (especially UVB) and better air flow, still keep feeders from escaping (with the exception of fruit flies for babies), and will not harm your chams claws either you can google wire cloth or hardware cloth on maps for location that sell the this.

I'm using aluminum screen from lowes. I'm not to worried about the lack of UVB. This is in the mail.

Mixed with silicone it resist the moister. I don't plan on misting so long that it gets drenched. Gonna set in the morning afternoon and night and give it enough time in between to let it dry out.

Background started. Ran outta foam!!! Off to homer.

SN,

That's looking great! Can't wait to see more progress. You're really making a masterpiece for you little guy.

 

[Santee_Native]

Finished up the foam now the waiting game.......

 

[MSMorgan]

What is the curing time on the foam?

 

[Santee_Native]

What is the curing time on the foam?

24hrs for full cure. Gonna cut some peat pot's in so I'm gonna give it the full cure time. Then it's silicone and Eco earth time.

 

[MSMorgan]

Great! can't wait to see the finished product. If I still lived in SD, I'd commission you to build me one.

 

[Santee_Native]
