    We just upgraded to one of these enclosures yesterday for our beardie. For the bottom, we bought a box of packing paper from U-Haul. The double box is around $8 and lasts a really long time since a couple of sheets are large enough to cover the entire bottom of the enclosure.

    Yeah, I would look into getting the UVB inside the vivarium. The mesh stops a large percentage of UVB penetration.

      zip ties is the way to go.. like $3 for a pack of 15 of them at walmart that are plenty long enough.. 18" seems a little to far away for the UVB going thru mesh.

  • @critterlovermaria506

    I used zip ties to mount the UVB to the inside of my Zen when my beardie still lived in it. When my beardie passed, I upgraded my leopard gecko into it and moved the UVB up higher for him. Love how the Zen looks and how it works so well for arid species. I haven't tried the PVC enclosure but heard good things about it.

    I just got this enclosure for my Blue Tongue Skink and had the same problem hanging the UV light BUT this is how I eventually got it hung up!!! (Easier with 2 people)
    I put two zip ties together to make a long one and set those between the bar and netting. Hold the light up and close one of the sides loosely (so it dangles) and do the same for the other. SUPER unstable!! If you keep tightening the zip ties little by little alternating which one you tighten eventually it will straighten up and hold tight!!! You just have to tighten the zip ties A LOT.
    I hope that makes sense and that it helps you!!! Good luck🦎❤️

    I would like to live in Tut’s new enclosure. It looks so cozy and comfortable. I love the hammocks and the rabbit bed. I don’t have a bearded dragon. I live vicariously through you with all your pets. However, have you tried Arm and Hammer white erasers to clean Tut’s potty spots. Those things are amazing. They are so great, and even remove Sharpie. I may be way way off, but it’s a thought. Congratulations on your new home Tut!

    Depending on what species of reptile you have and how much UVB they need there are several ways to do the UVB light. You can hang it inside. Or you can do a high output fixture with a high output bulb higher than what your animal needs and that way it won't matter if some of it is blocked by the screen. It's very individual depending on the species.

  • @budgetwithcam
    @budgetwithcam 4 роки тому +1

    For the wood, use a non toxic sealer. My hamster was peeing on her wooden hide and it was so hard to try and get out so I washed it best I could and then used mod podge to seal the wood. So far its been working great! Hope this helps :) you can also try a waterproof sealant you'd use for outdoor projects but you'd have to let it sit for like a week or more to make sure all the fumes are gone.

    I don't have any suggestions on how to get the spider wood cleaner, but once it is cleaned to your satisfaction, what about putting a few layers of spray enamel (or silicone) on it? you can usually get that at Home Depot with the spray paint. You'll want to research if it's safe for him once dry, but that will prob make future cleanup MUCH easier.
