You can find some enclosure pictures here in the gallery section:

Awesome thanks

Well, even with that link, I figured I'd post my setup anyway :3






These are the timers I use for the daytime and nighttime lights. Still need to get one more for the cool-side light.





The warm side.





And the cool side with the water dish in the middle

Great looking enclosure. You might have said before, but how big is that tank?

Actually, I hadn't said, but it's a 60 gal 49x18x16in

This is what I have for mine. The two large cardboard tube are industrial sized tubes for plastic wrap that a local store donates to my animals!

eta: Oh, it's 4 foot wide, 2 foot deep and roughly 2 foot tall

Nice enclosure tylociraptor

Don't mind the mess, we just bought a new house and in the middle of packing. I am still working on what to cover the outside 3 walls with, and building a hide on the cool side rather than a cardboard box

That third picture with the ranged shot of the room obviously didn't paste, so never mind !

I have that same hide there (the rock). It was her basking spot but she refused to climb on it...that is until I replaced it with something flat and now she climbs on it all the time
All the enclosure's look great!

What is the brand name of that tank? I love that it opens from the side.

Same here!!! I am working on setting up a different basking rock, but will leave this because she loves the inside !

It's Exo Terra. You should be able to find this tank at almost any pet store. 4x2x2 I believe.

Haha that's funny, I left it to because it is her favorite hide. At one point I had 2 actual hides, a Kleenex box and a paper towel roll, but she barely touced the other ones! And she still usually only uses that one.

I bought plain unfinished wood "crates" from the craft store to make hide boxes for my skinks. I move things around every few weeks to keep things interesting. I have moved the water to the floor since this picture was taken because I wasn't sure they were always drinking.

I have a 36x18x18 pvc tank. It has an exo terra cave size large, a petsmart brand large water dish, some fancy reptile wood, fake leaves, and reptibark substrate.

Here's my big guys enclosure.

That thing is huge! My goodness! Out of curiosity, what are the dimensions?

I want a bigger one.. It's 120cm x 60cm x 60cm (Think it's about 47 x 24 x 24 inches?) 150cm (59 inches) long would be perfect.
