Hatchling habitat with rubbermaid

[saukee9]

I have my new hatchlings in large Rubbermaid totes but I am not sure how to do the lighting with the lid to keep it humid. Need ideas, preferably with pictures. I'm a visual learner! haha

I guess it depends how handy you are. I built a custom lid with a hinge that provided access to the entire front side. Two junction boxes on top with ceramic light fixtures beneath. The dome on top held my CHE that was on a thermostat, mesh screen between bulb and inside kept things safe. Mister, on right hand side, with hose penetrating down inside the tub, on a timer. This all worked perfectly well for 6 months until I made a much larger enclosure.

Hope this helps give you some ideas.
