![]() ![]() I might also go with Slate Tile instead of Kitchen Liner, if I can't find any rocks to use in the enclosure. I've heard with Heat Projectors and Deep Heat Projectors you need to add Rocks and wood and natural type decor to be able to hold the heat well. I think the 80 Watt Deep Heat Projector might be too much but the 50 Watt might be good enough for my sized enclosure, it does hold heat and humidity well. I'm still deciding on the Mega Ray 60 Watt Heat Projector and the Arcadia 50 Watt Deep Heat Projector for my Enclosure. I heard you have to have certain types of decor to use with a Heat Projector and deep Heat Projectors. Not going Bioactive right away for now, it's just going to be a naturalistic setup with fake plants and Kitchen Liner for Substrat, then eventually I want to use Eco Earth substrate. She will be in a 24"L ×12"W×18" H custom enclosure and she will also have a heat mat. quick question: with your Deep Heat Projector how do you set up the enclosure so you can properly heat it? I am curious because I plan on getting a Heat Projector for my African Fat Tail Gecko. I do plan on doing a more recent video because alot what is shown in this video as changed the biggest change is the warm hide.Īwesome setup and your Gecko is adorable. I did a video a few weeks before I created this thread and for some reason I didn't add it to this thread so here it is Merry Xmas and hope 2021 bring us all a better Year This was by design and easy of access when I need to go into the warm hide, trying to place back multiple pieces of slate again to how they were just isn't fun haa ![]() Picture time - You may see some of the warm hide pictures has changed on some of these images I did change it up a few weeks back to have a single piece of slate instead of multiple. Plants I am very poor with names and truth is this is the first time I have been looking after plants lol I know one of them is called Snake plant the biggest in the enclosure.ġ blue death feigning beetle that is very good ay hiding away The substrate is 6 bags of 10L Arcadis EarthMix Arid with cork bark hides beneath the substrate for the clean up crew to hide away from the heat. It feels very natural and also my opinion it looks the part also. The background is custom made from a UK company called RockWays its a little expensive but for me, the price vs do it myself I wouldn't come anywhere close the quality of this background. Humidity throughout the day is between 30/45 and this spikes up abit during the night to around 40/55, temperatures are excellent bashing area is 33c and the warm hide is around 28c with much the area under the slate getting to 32cįor decor, I wanted to try and keep everything natural as possible only the wet hide is not. The idea here is to have a dawn and dusk effect going on. ![]() So in the morning, the UVB will come on 30 mins before the JungleDawn and vice versa in the night time. I also have for UVB Arcadia Pro T5 7% Shadedweller and for plant and peak day time simulation I am using Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED 90cmĪll heating and lighting are auto controlled for the DHP I using HabiStat Digital Dimming Thermostat Day+Night the lighting is controlled by a smart plug extension lead you can set timers from a phone app to have each plug come on and off. The size of the enclosure is Exo Terra Natural Terrarium Large/Tall 90 x 45 x 60 cm / 36” x 18” x 24” (WxDxH)įor heat I am using Arcadia Deep Heat Projector I absolute love this it heats up the enclosure really well and you can see its benefit in the gecko when the lights go off that his body has been heated really well. This is my first time building a bioactive enclosure and also my first time owning a gecko. His Hatch date is 12 July 2020 and I am told from the breeder his morph is Afghan X Black Night. I thought I would share my Leopard Gecko "Floyd" enclosure. ![]()
