    Honestly. This is amazing for people who want set ups but don't have the money to shell out for high end customs.

    You just blew my mind with this. Was making my plans to build a bearded dragon enclosure and found this. 70 gal tote will now be part of the build. You are awesome. Subscribed 👍🏻

    Looks wonderful, but in my country this is more expensive than buy glass terrarium....

    I hooked you up with a subscription man. I'm trying to start a channel of my own very soon. So I understand what it's like trying to get monetized. You're getting close dude!

    I saw this on your instagram a few years ago, have a bunch made out of 37 gallon and 55 gallon HDX tubs. Working great! I've made a few different mods to mine and have some things I'd do differently next time, like putting the silicone between the frame and bin instead of in the crack. I can put a cage together in literally an hour, made a few for a friend in a pinch. If you're good with a tape measure, you can size your frame and track to the size of standard plate glass at home depot so you don't have to get it custom cut or cut it yourself. Great video, thanks for sharing!

      Yeah. I put the silicone between the frame and box. But now add it to the Crack just at the bottom for holding water.

    How is the HTPE holding up to high heat temps over time? In my experience, HTPE doesn't hold up well to UV.

    • @forreal7568
      @forreal7568  2 роки тому

      I'm using leds uv heat tape and heat panels. No issues at all.

    How do you heat it? I assume heat tape but I’ve never personally used that

    • @forreal7568
      @forreal7568  3 роки тому

      Incandescent lights and heat tape. I have used heat panels as well.

      Um...not sure what you mean. I have kept reptiles in them for 2 years. I assume it's safe.
