    Looking for opinions...

    This is Truman (please forgive how dirty he is, this was just before bath time). We've had "him" for over 4 years now. I am starting to believe that "HE" may be a "SHE". What do you all think?

    Trumans new house!!

    I use a 100 watt CHE and a 125 watt mercury vapor bulb. I use a humidifier that I found on amazon that I adapted into a fogger since the Zoomed Fogger didn't last very long at all. Bonus, the humidifier was half the cost of the Zoomed fogger!! :)

    Actually we did do that. There are four caster wheels under there. It makes it much easier to move around and clean for sure!:):tort:

    Trumans new house!!

    We used liquid nail to adhere the plywood to the bottom of the garden bed, then we used silicon caulk for kitchens and bathrooms to seal the inside edge. We also put two full cans of Flex Seal on just the bottom.

    Trumans new house!!

    It's a raised garden kit that I found on Amazon. It comes with 2 4x4 garden beds, which are stack-able, and the canopy comes with it as well. Super easy to put together.

    Trumans new house!!

    It's a 4x4 raised garden bed with a green house tent on top. It seems to be working great. But wanted to post here for some feedback. Did I miss anything? His temps are 80 degrees everywhere, his basking spot is at around 102 degrees. The humidity is around 77-80%. Night time temps range...

    Indoor Enclosure - Flex Seal (rubberized sealer)

    I used a raised garden bed that I found on Amazon. It came with 2 4x4 beds that I stacked on each other so it's 18 inches high. It also came with the green house tent which is perfect for holding in the humidity and heat. It's open on the bottom so we had to adhere plywood to it with liquid...

    Indoor Enclosure - Flex Seal (rubberized sealer)

    We just built an enclosure last week and used Flexseal to seal the bottom. We used 2 full cans for a 4x4 square and allowed it to off gas for 48 hours AFTER the the last coat. So far its working splendidly.

    Crazy question...

    But do they sense the weather outside even when they live in a constant 80 degree sunny environment? My little guy has hardly come out of his hidey hole yesterday and today. The weather here is horrible, cold and lots of snow is being dumped on us at the moment. I've checked and rechecked...

    Substrate question

    Where can I find Orchid bark?? Everything on Amazon is Fir bark is that basically the same thing? The only orchid bark that I can find is in small bags that are treated with something to help the plants grow and it's not very cheap.....am I missing something?

    Substrate question

    I have the fogger on a hygrometer that goes on and off according to the level of humidity. I live in Michigan and it gets very dry here in the winters. At least in my house it does. Before I got the fogger I was misting the substrate several times a day but couldn't get the humidity to stay...

    Substrate question

    I thought it seemed awfully wet. Should I stir or rake it up every so often or something? I will add more coir but won't it eventually just get that wet again?
