RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal. ta great deal. The lights may or may not be useful. It matters what they are. definitely the night light is not needed. The log shelter is not needed if you put it on the ground. The water dish is not going to be used.
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal. ta I agree. The water dish *may* be useful, but thats only if it's a shallow one, and could be used if you are having problems with humidity, otherwise it's not necessary. Anoles drink the droplets from the leaves and foilage etc, as they aren't very good at recognising standing water.
Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal Yep, went and picked it up today. its pretty good shape just needed a little cleaning. How do you mean the lights might or might not not be useful?? Can't I use the clamp lamps and just change the light bulbs to a basking light bulb? As for the strip light I plant to buy a Exo-terra light strip... Yeah I wasnt planning on using the log shelter and water dish.Thanks for the replies. P.S. Sorry its a 50 gal. (5 gals off) 8)
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 Oh, yeah of course you can reuse the clamp lamps. I meant the bulbs. The clamp lamps are usually 10 - 20 dollars each so you saved there too. Get us pics when you have it all set up.
Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empt Yeah Totally, I didnt care for the light bulbs. I was gonna get new ones. ok I will get some pics when I have it set-up. .....P.S. I only need one basking light right?
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: It matters. How many anoles are you getting. IT wouldn't hurt to have an extra one just in case it doesnt feel like staying there all day. I mwself have two basking spots.
Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: Ok, thanks. so I should buy two Basking light bulbs. thanks
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: yeah, since it is a big cage, it wouldn't hurt.
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal. ta Am I correct in saying that you are still planning on putting anoles in the tank?
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal. ta ok...so is that what you are putting anoles in? if you decide to go with anoles, you have to make some changes to that tank. first, anoles are arboreal lizards, which means they need more vertical space instead of horizontal. but the tank will still work as long as they have lots of plants and things to climb on. to make the perfect habitat for an anoles, you can sit the tank upright, and get a certain metal screen to cover it. that is actually what i am doing for my anoles. keep in mind that by doing that, you have to find a way to attatch their UVB light to the screen, because UVB does not penetrate glass. for more info, pm me.
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal. ta i am only basing that on the pics you posted in the first page...the four or five pics with just a hide, and a water dish...
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal. ta I would disagree with putting a 55 gallon tank on its side. Glass cages can in fact break just from being kept like that. Anoles should be fine with the tank like it is.
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal. ta Thanks for the replies, yes im still working on the tank, but im short on money but im saving around $100 for the things.
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal. ta well...i mean yes a 55 gal. on its end would most likely break, i know that...believe me i had a 50gal do that...i was very happy though that all my anoles were at that moment in smaller tanks being quarantined....i was just trying to make a point....
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal. ta no, they were all in smaller exo-terra tanks being quarantined while i was setting up the large tank...it was weird because i have a habit of leaveing the tank setup for two weeks before i will put the lizards back in it (when it is a new tank, new substtrate, new everything) to get the heat up, and everything set to exactly where i want in...it collapsed on the 9th day...so it was all ok.
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal. ta Yeah it was....which is part of the reason why they are in a 20gal right now....getting a bigger one when i am done building my cresties
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Empty 20 gal. ta Yeah, at least they were fine. I cant wait until the summer when I can finally have enough time to finish my enclosure.
