[corruptphantasm]

Heres a link to like 20 pictures on Photobucket of my cage start to finish. please let me know what you think. im getting a Argentine B&W in a week or two and i just finished the cage. lol Please dont be too harsh.

somehow i left out the part were i silicone to keep the moisture out the wood but ya i did and the paint is aslo a sillier and its water resistant my brothers a professional painter he said its more than enough and will work great and plus i did like 4 coats

as for lights the basking light is a 100w zoomed halogen but i have to get a bigger wattage this ones not hot enough its only at like 97f the florescent light is a reptisun 10.0 uvb and for night i have to get a ceramic heat emeter im getting it in a couple days

the door idea is pretty cool, no hinges just pins??

How far away is your UVB bulb?

ya just pins i was gunna do hinges but i decided the doors would sit to far into my room if i wanted to let him roam so this way i can tuck the door along side the cage if i gotta clean it or wanna let him out

the bulb is aprox 20in from the middle of the basking rock

Some people soak it a 10% bleach 90% water solution or bake it, if i buy it from a place o trust i do nothing, if i find some outside i usually bake it for like 5-10 mins @3-400*
