    I have a pair of Chinese water dragons I a 4x4x7 grow tent with a dog pool in the bottom with a three in one waterfall filter platform in there a ton of climbing branches throughout it and a live plant and it looks incredible. Holds humidity and heat extremely well

    I have a grow tent for a tegu with a crystal clear vinyl on the front. I’m gonna build a wooden enclosure because it gets kind of annoying zipping the door open and closed. And it’s kind of an eye sore with a big ass grow tent in my room. I just think a wooden enclosure is going to be way better regardless if you would like to sit and observe your reptile. It’s just not the same and you wouldn’t understand unless you have a grow tent enclosure... but it won’t hurt to also try one out considering they’re dirt cheap. Not for me personally. Actually It gets really fucking annoying Zipping and unzipping it not kinda.

    Looking at the pricing on US Amazon for those bamboo/reed fence rolls, buying enough of them to cover the walls of my tegu enclosure would cost more than I spent on the enclosure itself. Since the whole point of using a grow tent is the low price, I think that kind of defeats the point. Does anyone have any ideas about how I could decorate the walls of my 5x10x8ft grow tent enclosure without breaking the bank?

    Im thinking about purchasing a growtent next year. But one with a fully transparent front. For plants though not any animals. However I *might* consider getting one for herps, maybe a chameleon. If I go that route I sure will take your advice!

    • @emp4th783

      Chameleons typically need LOTS of air flow to survive and thrive hence the screen enclosures. Grow tents are great for SO many living things but not chameleons :)

      Tristan Simpson that would mostly only circulate that air Thats in side of the tent for the most part. With that being said, I myself and no one I know of has tried it. It could be a bit of a gamble. I personally wouldn’t do it. My veiled chameleon has a screen enclosure and that’s worked quite well for him though I do have to do a daily spray down to keep humidity up for him but I don’t mind. :)

      Also, for the branches, you can cut logs into thin circles like a plate almost and then basically screw them to the bottom of the branches so that they stand up right or at least have less of a chance to slip and fall!
