I hear that. I broke my back 2 years ago and anything that is pre built for assembly gets my vote.;)

https://vivosun.com/products/vivosun-digital-seedling-heat-mat-thermostat-controller-68-108 I Believe Amazon sells them too? I compared the real time temperature that was displayed on the digital readout on the Vivosun thermostat controller and the surface temp of the Kane mat was roughly 2...

It’s the Lifetime Products 60170 Horizontal Storage shed 41.2” deep x 51.7” long. That should cover him for a very long time. It’s on a 8 inch concrete/fiber slab I poured so it can definitely handle his weight. I do foresee having to enlarge the opening for his door though at some point. Here’s...

Why thank you! I promise I’m not OCD OCD OCD.;)

Oops, it’s 16/3 wire:confused:. Still works great though. Home Depot part# 649532620784

Home Depot has these really neat (and cheap) “pig tales” that resolve the obstruction of the outlets. They’re a 14 AWG pigtails so they can handle some amps (15-20). I included a picture of two of them plugged together to give you an idea how they work. Pretty cool!

To make a ridiculously long story much shorter those were temporary “spreader bars” pushing against the 8x8 wood beams left over from building his habitat living area holding pressure on the synthetic bumpers that are being glued to the foam insulation boards. They were there temporarily to hold...

Thank you for the compliment and a very good question indeed! I have a solid piece of 1 1/2” foam that seals the heat in. In addition to that all the walls and doors are insulated with 1 1/2” foam board. Then on top of that I injected foam into the walls AND floor of the shed structure itself...

I have a 18x28 (PHM28R model) for our 4 year old Sulcata. It is also monitored by a Vivosun digital heat mat controller to make sure there’s no chance of overheating. I know the Kanes have a built in protection but I’m a pessimist and believe in redundancy. Can’t go wrong with a Kane. Very...

That’s so cool!! Tell me you have a name for the habitat? You gotta name it.

So it got down to -10 the other night and I can’t tell you how glad I am that I had extra light fixtures and a Module habitat because I had to resolve the issue very quickly. Luckily I had my alarm set for when the temperature dropped to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Up until it got to 10 degrees...

So M&M for short? ;) Beautiful pics. Thanks for sharing.

Right?! Lol. Didn’t even think of that.

Oh, and a question for those in similar climates. How concerned should I be when I find my little guy basking in the sun when it’s 40 degrees out? Should he be ok? I cleared a path and a little patch of ground so at least he won’t be laying in the freezing snow.

Well winter is officially here in New Mexico. Dropped to 7 degrees last night. Not for MrT though. Warm and cozy! ;)
