@Tom I'm baaaack! I've got a 48" Arcadia 6% t5HO now, and your standard reflector fixture ready to mount to the ceiling, with my chain and hooks and what not. However, this dang reflector fixture is the clip mount variety with no where for hooking. Should I just mount it to a small piece of...

Thank you! Lol! I’ve never hung a coffee cup but I’m glad we were on the same page.

Are we talking about round hooks? I am maybe not understanding.

I ordered through ‘Kages’! ? They do additionally do custom sizing but the lead times are longer and I was desperate. There are a lot of PVC companies out there but these seemed to be the highest rated but also the most expensive. With 32 sq. ft. I am hoping I won’t need to update his indoor...

Thank you again! I’ll post photos when all is said and done. Can’t wait. It is going to quadruple his current walking space. Maybe more.

Hi there! I should say the total unit is 48” but accommodates substrate up to 16” deep. So he’ll probably be more like 3 or so from the ceiling. I don’t mind to hang with chains but I’m not familiar with the workability of PVC. I’ll have to check it out when it arrives. I wanted something...

That seems much easier! The enclosure I’ve selected states not to use CHE’s with it. Are you familiar with the Arcadia DHP’s? I use them with my other critters. Also when selecting a strip fixture should I worry about the humidity? I don’t want to start a fire. The sockets are ceramic for the...

Hi all. The 8x4x4 I ordered for my Redfoot Tortoise will be arriving Tuesday. This is a huge undertaking so I want to get it right the first time. Could anyone please recommend bulbs and fixtures? It comes with two Arcadia fixtures that I will place side by side for basking since the ceiling is...

Hi there! Thanks for the cat food idea. The old table was higher, hence the light height. It is 100w UVB Mercury Vapor Bulb. I will work on the framework as you suggested, No concerns about the ambient the trapped heat melting the plastic? I assume in those greenhouse conditions, keeping the...

Thanks for the welcome! I meant to mention temps. The ambient temperature of this room is always right around 76-78 because we have monitor heat, the room is small, and I like the air to feel like lava. Ha! As far as humidity goes, like I had said I mist a few times a day and soak him as well...

Hi all, I've had my Redfoot since about 2014 or so. He was small, but not a 'baby'. Here he is the day he came home.It's hard to get a sense of scale but let's say...A bit bigger than a typical computer mouse. Or, a comfortable fit for the average human hand. Anywho, I've been upping and...
