Well, as the thread title says, I just got my terrarium put together. I don’t have my little buddy yet, I still want to make sure that I can tweak the habitat to make sure it’s comfortable for when he comes home.
Here is a list of what I got for the enclosure:
Terrarium
ReptiZOO 120 Gallon Tank – 48” x 24” x 24”, front opening doors
ReptiZOO Storage Cabinet – 48” x 24” x 30”
Trevie Trevie Gray Matte Porcelain Stone Tile – 12” x 24”, on receipt is listed as Alpe Graphite, Total 4, cut-to-fit
Lighting & Heating
ReptiZoo T5 HO UVB Terrarium Hood – 54 Watt
ReptiZoo T5 HO 10.0 UVB Bulb – 54 Watt
Reptile Heat Lamp Stand – 15.7” to 74.3”
Fluker’s 8.5” Heavy Duty Clamp Light for Reptiles with dimmable switch
Fluker’s 150 Watt Incandescent Basking Spotlight Bulb
Reptile Temperature Controller – Day/Night Timer, 3 Outlet Thermostat
JEDEW Mini Hygrometer – 2 pack
ReptiZoo Reptile Air Purifier – I currently have only 1 in the terrarium, but the instructions say I need 2 for the size of terrarium that I have. I have a 2nd one on the way.
Terrain and Accessories
Double-Layered Reptile Hammock
Reptile Escape Proof Worm Dish
Thrive Brown Reptile Bowl – Small
Imagitarium Reptile Ramp Bowl – 13” x 9” x 2.5”, This is not for watering but for my little buddy to take a dip in.
Thrive Desert Reptile Corner Hide
Thrive Corner Tree Snake Hide
Mac’s Creatures & Critters Pet Refuge - Large
Thrive Skull Terrarium Decor
Thrive Climbing Reptile Branch Ladder
Thrive Desert Reptile Decorating Kit – Includes:
Imagitarium Succulent Terrarium Décor - Medium
It looks like I will need to change the Fluker’s lamp, tho. It seems that the 150 watt lamp isn’t enough to raise the temperature high enough for the warm area. It appears that I need to get a 250 watt lamp instead.
I’ll also be getting a second air purifier to ensure that the humidity level is fairly constant throughout the enclosure. Currently my the humidity is at 36% on the warm side and 47% on the cool side. Also, I may add a potted plant as well - probably an echeveria (one with some color).
If anyone can offer any tips or suggestions for my terrarium I’d appreciate hearing them.
