This is the smaller of my 2 enclosures, I just finished this one up for my new Extreme thats coming in about 2 days (just got the call today from Bobby :woot )
This measures out to: 4ft long, 2.5ft high, 3ft deep.
- I have one section setup with a large lime stone (checkout the coloring)
Its proped up with 2 small cement blocks bolted to the stone, ( creating a new hide underneath )
- On the opposite end I have the coolside: Hide and perch where the water bin will be,. (The perch is also on hinges for easy cleaning. Thick bed of substrate inside for burrowing also.
Background is the normal photo backdrop you can find at any pet shop, I think it came out pretty good, almost looks 3-D
All wood has been sealed with 3-4 layers over a 2-3 day period, photo backdrop has also been treated with spray sealant to be protected from humidity.
Lighting: -1 dome light, ZooMed 100w. basking bulb.
-1 R zilla 20" strip light w/ series 50 desert UVB bulb,
the strip light will be bolted inside,
The smaller dome light is not being used
Substrate: 40% All Natural EarthGro Mulch & 60% Eco Earth
I left the enclosure up and running for 12 hours to see what my readings were and so far its at:
(( 101*F on the basking stone, 59% Humidity ))
Let me know if you guys think I should either increase or decrease the figures above.

(89.4*F @ 48% humidty on the basking side, Warming up after an hour of lighting up)

Let me know what you guys think, I have to pickup and raise some of those temp sensor wires (not sure if you can see them) but I dont want them hanging, but other than that any more ideas are more than welcomed.
Thanks for looking guys, and thanks to everyone that answered all my questions while I was building. :hug
