Okay, I'm including a picture of one of my "home made" enclosures. I have seperated it into 3 seperate housings because I am very male heavy and do not want to house them females due to all showing signs of breeding. They have all the basics, (including uvb that I had to move to get a descent picture). Is the space big enough though? I feel that it is but would like your opinions. Each section is roughly 18"x24"x24".
Alright, now I have roughly 600watts of electricity going on in my reptile room. During mid-day with the windows shut the rooms ambient temp reaches 90-95 degrees and the basking temps have been going into 120-125 range. (It's been cool out side since we've had this much power so I'm not sure what will happen in the Summer.) I keep the thermostat set at 65 so the temperature doesn't drop below that at night. I have 2 ac's in the house and do not think it is neccesary to purchase a seperate unit for that room. I manage the temp. by opening the 2 windows from cracks to all the way depending on the temp. outside but it's getting old. I thought about purchasing a couple of fans in the Summer, one directing in and the other directing out so there is a good airflow in the room. Has anyone tried this?
Also, has anyone housed multiple same size females together? I have several that I house 2 to a tank, but can make modifications to house more. How many is too many to one tank? I can put more than one basking site in the tank. I have a 6x2.5x2 tank that I have converted to 1/3,2/3 housing in second picture and would love to open it up and add more ladies in there. So with 15sq feet of floor space and 3-4 basing sites how many females could I comfortably house?
Hope some of this makes sence. I will enclude two pictures. The first is one of the male housings, the second is the possible conversion for multiple females. Please don't make fun of the cages I used my $20.00 jig saw, free wood from a pool table crate, and grabbed the plexiglass from dads house.
