gena Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 It certainty is. I was looking at making an outdoor sun cage out of screen type fencing,silicone a plant and plastic planter dishes at the top and bottom of the wire so it'll be a tall tube cage for like 20 I can put him in to take him outside a few hours when weather is goodWhat's the highest temperature they can handle? Crested geckos are only like 82 and then trouble starts! It was 104 here yesterday and today is a repeat! Thank God for A/C! 1 Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thanks brother jack,it's getting there Just a few more things and it'll be ready to rock and roll. Stands 6'3" overall, cage is 24x24x36 With all the mist and water, you sure you don't want to protect the wood/paint it? I don't know anything about reptile cages, but from your videos I can see that there is a LOT of water involved! Quote Link to comment
pgrVII Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 The wood will be sealed with butchers Block sealer,no stains just a sealer,everything above the cabinet will be sealed. With all the mist and water, you sure you don't want to protect the wood/paint it?

gena Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 That turned out GREAT! Hey, did your roaches show up with any dry goods you purchased? My dry goods arrived last week but the roaches didn't. The note said they would arrived separately. I'm assuming they have held off due to the 100+ degree weather we've been having. I'll give them a call or drop them an email today .

Yea they showed up first,but it was cooler out then,usually over 90 I think they won't ship them so there isn't a hassle with doas. 1 Quote Link to comment
