Attaching platforms to crabitat walls?

I have a few organizer trays that I'm using a second-level platforms, but nothing I use seems to be able to get them to stick to the walls of the tank. The trays have small holes in the sides, so I looped some zip ties in them and initially used them to hang from those little plastic hooks that come...

Re: Glass canopy for 40g breeder?

You could always get plexi glass and cut it to size if you have a drummel or something. I know they sell it at Home Depot and Lowes in my area, but I never asked them if they'd cut it for me. Another thing you might want to consider is window insulation-you know the kind that looks kind of like a h...

Re: Glass canopy for 40g breeder?

Does the terrarium have a recessed inner lip at the top? If so, measure the inner dimensions as that is where the glass lid will rest. All Living Things brand may be comparable to Aqueon as both are carried by PetSmart (Petco's tanks are manufactured by Marineland). Online vendor Doctors Foster & S...

Glass canopy for 40g breeder?

For the life of me, I cannot find a glass canopy for a 40g breeder ANYWHERE. My local pet stores never have them, and almost all places I look online come in two pieces (tank does not have a center brace to support two pieces), or are completely out of stock (i.e. thatpetplace; I have no idea when t...

Re: Heating with a glass lid

That's what I figured I was going to have to do. I was concerned because I read that a UTH doesn't actually heat up the tank very much by itself, even when it's stuck on the side and not under the substrate. I may just have to invest in more than one. Thank you guys!

Heating with a glass lid

I'm planning on buying a glass canopy for my 40g breeder to keep the humidity in, but my main concern about this is how I'm going to heat the tank now. I usually rely on 1 or 2 heat lamps sitting directly on the mesh lid during the winter, but I figure I can't really do that with a glass lid without...
