Bit of a tease........

.......but here is rub rack build phase two



The new occupants will be arriving in a few weeks, after the mother of all reptile road trips

Also if anyone's interested, here's how my humidifier setup looks




I can put together a little "how to" if anyone wants one. As I've said before I'm guessing over all cost was £40-45 for a 5 litre humidifier

Are you using mates or heat cable for the heat source in the rack ?

35x11" mats, each with their own stat and a temp/hydro probe in each tub. Cables would have been cheaper but
a) I haven't used cables before, I have a fear of the unknown
b) I don't have a router to recess the cables into the board

If you'd like, I've got the cutting list and plan I could send over to you. Don't mind doing a quick build guide either. There's nothing fancy, just screws and wood. I'm pretty much a DIY dipstick and just make it up as I go along Lol

Each level is from a single sheet of 8x4' and can hold upto a 50l rub easily. £15-20 from B&Q plus they cut it for you

Cheers mate,

Yeah just let me know if you want any advice. The big viv is for my Columbian rainbow boa. She's been in there for a few years now but the humidifier is a new addition.

I'm keeping quiet about what's going in the rubs

Interested in the humidifier, do they have a sensor or a 'setting' for humidity? I'm spraying all the time and moss doesn't seem to cut it.
