After years of going on about fan-vented cages I'm finally able to post pix of some. These are some I built for a friend who shoots digital so he took some shots for me.

The cages with the brighter lights have Lumichrome bulbs installed. The duller cages have the bulbs that came with the fixtures, just commonplace cool whites.

The largest cages are 76 inches long. Medium cages are 48 long and short ones are 24 long. All are 24 deep.

Heat bulbs are at the vented end to pull hot air out of the cage, leaving the herp to harvest heat carried by the light, as in the wild. The strong airflow provides benefits beyond controlling heat creep, as all herps kept in forced-air cages are more active, healthy, disease-resistant, and have better appetites than animals living in low-airflow enclosures.
