Sulcata Night Box And Great Way To Monitor Temp & Humidity

[Sue Ann]

I lock all mine inside at night. . . even the over 100lb ones.

Me too

@Ray--Opo I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01486LZ50/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20

Although a lot of people recommend this one: https://www.lllreptile.com/products/13883-zilla-1000-watt-temperature-controller

I have one and it worked well and is easier to use, but I like the nice temp display on the Inkbird ones. Hope that helps!

I have InkBird now and am really happy with it

I’m about to order my door flaps from that website. What overlap did you get??

Order the 8 in plastic strips, cut them in half to create 4 in strips. There are enough holes to create a 1 in overlap. I love mine

I ordered the exact gas struts linked but they came with no instructions or mounting hardware.

I know this thread is old now but I keep referencing it as the gold standard of deluxe night boxes. I have a question on the electrical. How is this connected to power? I assume the outlets are connected to a plug of some sort? I see outlets and romex but what is on the other end? Is it just connected by an outdoor extension cord?

This member doesn't post anymore, but judging by the professionalism of the box, I'd guess it is connected to a proper junction box on the other end.

Thank you. I figured as much and I know just enough about electrical work to make myself nervous!
