    Looks great. I understand that screen tops are not suggested for ackies because , it makes a dehydrator ?

    • @PetsinaPawd
      @PetsinaPawd  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They're generally not recommended because it does cause evaporation of moisture quicker. For that reason I have plexiglass sheets cut to fit the top. That way it stays closed off

      It definitely is but it's very good quality as a glass enclosure. You can find cheaper pvc cages of the same size!

    Hi Again
    And thanks so much for answering my questions ! Are you using the the CC fixture with the 2 sockets attached? I'm trying to figure out exactly how you attached all the lighting to the top inside of the cage? Thank you.

    • @PetsinaPawd
      @PetsinaPawd  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! I am using Arcadia brand lighting fixtures for both heat and uv. Since the screen is wire mesh I attached the lights using metal wire. I looped it through the attachment holes of the fixture and up through the mesh. It is a little DIY but very secure and safe to be near heat. Hope that helps!

    and do you just put live food into the enclosure or you feed them using a tong and is there a difference between feeding live animals and dead animals to these monitors

    • @PetsinaPawd
      @PetsinaPawd  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I put live insects in and my ackie grabs them, I also tong feed a lot right no since he's little. He doesn't like insects that are already dead.

    what are these logs called and it would be nice to add a water bowl where the monitors can soak themselves

    • @PetsinaPawd
      @PetsinaPawd  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The logs are called "cork rounds". There is a huge water dish in there it's in the right side of the enclosure

    Does the enclosure have a screen or solid top? Looks like you mounted lights inside,?

    Absolutely awesome video!!! Love the setup it’s really nice. Can I ask how much did just the cage cost? Also, does it hold heat and humidity well being that the top is ventilated? Thanks again for sharing.

      This cage was around $1,000 I believe. I have information linked in the description.
      I also do have plexiglass that covers the screen to help with humidity

    How much did this all cost

    • @PetsinaPawd
      @PetsinaPawd  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd say around 1600 including the enclosure, background, and ALL decor inside
      The enclosure is 95% of the cost.

      Thank you!! And a Sav would need bigger. Something more like an 8x5ft enclosure.
