Edit: Husband got home and saw the setup - he was thrilled! We're now debating what to put in there, so I'll update when we've secured the package. 🦎

This almost completed terrarium build from a curio cabinet is a surprise for my husband, who has been on a work trip all week and is finally coming back this afternoon. I still need to drill a small hole in the top for the misting cord and add another layer of polyurethane on the inner part of the door, and touch up a few spots on the wall with silicone and substrate.

Based on some suggestions on a previous post during the process of making this, I think we'll be looking at getting either a gargoyle or a few day geckos as it's first occupants. I'm also hoping to find a couple longer branches to provide more climbing space. Thank you to those who provided guidance with this!

Saw this guy creeping on me on a walk.

I'm excited to raise up this little girl! Parthenogenic yellow spotted night lizard. She's already been much more showy than I expected her to be.

Monitors and tegus are regarded as the smartest, but what group is the dumbest?

As usual shes waiting by the feeding area for the lights to go off LOL

I spent over an hour searching and crying my whole house. I thought okay I’ll search the enclosure one more time. Then I felt him when I grabbed the cork bark. Silly mf literally morphed into his bark

Hi all, currently I have my 18x18x36 on the floor but I’m looking to get a stand for it as my cat likes to sit on the mesh (no reptiles yet)

I mostly know fish tanks so I’m not sure what rating I should be doing for a terrarium. There’s maybe 5-8g of soil in it, so around 10lbs (guesstimating), so should the stand pictured work? I can see a structural concern but I’m tempted to brace it after I get it

About to switch my leopard gecko to bio-active, have had her since July. Everything’s been great since tonight I saw two of these tiny bugs crawling, never seen them before. Does anyone know what they are or where they could have come from?

Caught my snake yawning and its so cute

Hi all,
I am looking for a PVC enclosure for my blue tegu. He is currently in a 8x4x4 grow tent and I am looking to upgrade. He is a little guy, about 2.5 feet long and does not use his full enclosure so I think I am going to downsize a bit.
I was thinking maybe 6x3x3. My upper budget is $1000 but I would like to stay around $700-$800 if possible.
Thanks!

Long story short, I purchased a ZOO MED REPTICARE 60 watt Infrared Heat Projector from chewy.com (which I use a lot for my cats’ supplies and always have good customer service experiences with!)

The first bulb arrived with what looked like corrosion, so I was able to have a replacement sent. I just received the replacement, and it looks similar.

Do these look normal to y’all? Would you use them? Any thoughts on alternative brands? Thank you in advance!

Just bought this and I can not for the life of me get this to work.

I've been able to insert the tube, rotate 90° until it clicks and is secure. But everytime, I turn on the switch, the tube will flash on for a bit then turn off.

Only one time, I managed to get it fully on, but then after a bit turned off again.

I also noticed that with the tube inserted, some of the pins on one side are still visible, I'm not sure if that's normal. See the pictures. Plastic feels a little flimsy, but even squeezing both sides inwards doesn't help.

Can't go back to the store for a few days, so any help is appreciated meanwhile.

Cyrus is pretty much semi-aquatic at this point. Spends all day at the pool’s edge (or straight up IN the pool and taking sips of water every couple of hours) then spends all night in predator mode. Two more days until a new prey release into the enclosure (2-3 dubia roaches, at least one of which are his favorite: full-grown adult males)

If I have both probe 4 and 5 being used at the same time, they both show an error that the probe is missing .... But if I set 4 to disabled then 5 works, and if I set 5 to disabled then 4 will work!!!???? Do I just need to contact customer service?

Olá a todos! Estou à procura de alguns conselhos porque estou bastante preocupado com o meu dragão barbudo.
Ele tem pouco mais de 1 ano e, há cerca de um mês, começou a comer menos do que o habitual. No entanto, esta última semana não comeu absolutamente nada, nem vegetais nem insetos.
As temperaturas do terrário são as seguintes:
● Basking spot: 34–36 °C
● Temperatura ambiente do terrário: 28–29 °C
● Zona fria: 21–23 °C
Utilizo uma lâmpada de vapor de mercúrio que fornece UVA e UVB e já verifiquei o estado da lâmpada.
Ultimamente, ele tem evitado completamente a zona de basking. Em vez disso, esconde-se ou vai para a zona fria do terrário. Nunca me tinha acontecido isto com ele.
Poderá ser início de brumação (hibernação) ou poderá existir algum outro problema de saúde? Estou especialmente preocupado porque já não come absolutamente nada há uma semana e o apetite tem vindo a diminuir há cerca de um mês.
Esta tarde, vou receber em casa a visita de um veterinário especializado em animais exóticos para avaliar a situação, mas gostava de conhecer as vossas experiências e saber se alguém já passou por algo semelhante com o seu dragão barbudo.
Alguém já passou por uma situação destas com um dragão barbudo desta idade? Conseguiram descobrir qual era a causa?
Obrigado desde já pela ajuda!

Hi, I upgraded recently and got both jungle dawn and T5 lumenIZE products.
I have the app set up and the custom schedule I want. The light does not go off at the end of the day despite being set as 0%, does anyone else have this issue?

bought these enclosures off of facebook, theyre stackable and 20 gallons (essentially was trying to get one for my frog), the only downside is theres not a light fixture in any of them, is there a way to diy one in them? below are pictures of what the top looks like, they still need to be cleaned so please mind the dirtiness lol
