Ceramic Heat Emitter Use,

[J Teezy]

Lol! I would love to have one of those. I don't even think I have enough equipment to make full use of that enviro control simulator. Not in the budget right now either. Looks worth every penny though. Adding to wish list now

I hear that. Pricey but man i want one. will definitely be saving up for one for my next build. Its going to be plush. You should make your wedding registery for terrarium supplies!!!

Next build hopes and dreams:

Exo terra 24x18x24 or 24x18x18 with water fall or drip wall
EcoZone controller
Mistking
Reptifogger
Internal circulation fans or maybe air exchanger

it's going to be pricey

Wow, That looks awesome! It would eliminate so many other plugs, etc.
You could hook up an old lap top?
All this equipment- gosh, the plugs are everywhere !
I just hung a 2nd big surge protector!
I'm on speed dial to the fire dept ! lol
Warmer weather would help- If it ever gets here!

I use this little fan in the summer. It works very well. I may try to reverse the fan/direction on one side? It is practically silent!

Yeeaaaahhh we checked and Petsmart and the other pet stores around here don do gift registry Lol!

I want one of the larger Exo Terra tanks too. Want to Upgrade my Grif's enclosure to one that has more goind space without taking up too much room and able to hold heat and humidity better. With my Hygrotherm I know it won't be an issue, but I like to have the foggers running less often and for the enclosure to stay warmer with less effort from my heat sources. I've got some ideas, but they won't come to life until I get the tank I wand so I can begin to experiment with it

For what you've got listed there J, its going to be more than pricey Lol! You're looking at a Grand right there not to mention I know you're going to decorate it nicely with live plants and other nice frog environmental furnishings.

I should be able to get the tank I want after I get my tax return so I'm all good there.

Well I can say that if you are going to buy an exo terra tank I'd look into getting it from Jay Deal of Jungle Island Exotic Pets. I don't think you'll find a cheaper price. He is at the reptile show every month and brings exo terra tanks with him. You could probably contact him a few days in advance to ask him to make sure he brings the size you want, i'm pretty sure he carries all the sizes. Just for an example. He had a 24x18x24 for $150. And when you buy it from him at the show its flat price, no tax. He also had a 24x18x36 there (those things are HUGE) for $210 i believe. next show is May 13th

you can hook up any computer. If you use a router for your home network you can simply just plug up to the router, you can connect directly to your PC, or you can even buy a wireless adapter and go wireless with it. You can also hook a mistking up to via I/O connection making it so you don't have to hook it up to one of the AC outlets

Oh Boy - don't get me going

[GrifTheGreat]

So you hook it up to your computer and make adjustments to the environment from there? That's awesome!

Yeah you can set it all up via the controller or your pc. i believe you can also monitor your viv from the net if you are not home

Gosh!
I'm happy w/ my mist king- seconds timer for 6 little frogs.

This is way more than I need !!
BUT very, very cool.

[GrifTheGreat]

Yeah I'm really wanting one of these now. When my fiance and I have our own house and not renting I thought about making something like a green house to house frogs in and that unit would be a perfect environment control unit. I've got plans way before I even have what I need. I'm probably just dreaming Lol!

Are you kidding!!
Those kind of dreams are the best !
It's healthy!

Yeah I have dreams like that. Housing frogs in a giant Viv where they are almost free and the environment controled. Of course this would have to be sectioned off by species and type of frog due to frogs eating other frogs/canniblism/toxins/etc. Just and idea I've been throwing around since I started this life/hobby. Like I said though its just a dream. There would have to so much testing and micro climates made within this massive enclosure. It would cost entirely too much, but that doesn't mean that I don't still want it.

just my 2 cents on the original post: i use a 60w ceramic heater in a dome (w/ dimmer) sitting directly on the wire screen top. yes, the dome gets very hot, but i can grab onto the top part to move it just fine (i have clamps but never bothered to put them on). the screen never gets hot to the touch and it keeps the temps in my 20L tank in the 70s / humidity stays between 30-50% depending on the amount of misting i do.
