Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Custom built wooden cabinet enclosure with waterfall
I'm selling a custom built reptile terrarium which I built about 10 years ago. The outer dimensions are 69" tall, 29.75" wide and 20" deep. It is divided into two compartments (see below). The door is a thick (3/4-1") piece of acrylic framed in wood with two keyed locks and weather striping inside to seal any gaps. The left side is a large piece of fine aluminum window screen to allow proper airflow. It would be great for smaller arboreal lizards and any snakes. At the top of the cabinet is concealed slide out panel which has a UV light strip and a ceramic light bulb fitting mounted inside. Both of these are wired together to one grounded plug so that both can be plugged in at once. I put a lot of effort into this cage and am asking $500 for it (the filter alone was $120 new). Local pickup in Greenville, SC area. Note that the plants have long since died...

Compartment 1: reptile enclosure
The upper space is fully enclosed for housing a reptile and measures about 25" x 32". The enslosure has a custom carved and painted "rock" wall which was made out of foam, silicone, and covered with Drylock to seal it. THe Drylock was mixed with pigment and layered in different colors to give it a more natural looking effect. An outlet pipe is in the top righ corner and creates a small pool (fist sized) which then overflows into a waterfall down the right side into a couple pools until it spills into a large pool in the bottom right corner. The pool was constructed out of a styrofoam shipping container with a drain installed and liberally sealed with silicone. On the left hand side of the bottom is a large planter which can be filled with soil for live plants. Other small pockets are on the walls for other live plants. The ceiling is fine aluminum wire to allow the UV light to pass through but prevent escapes.
Compartment 2: filter housing
The bottom section has a Life Guard mechanical filter (model AF94) and piping with shut-off valves to allow the filter to be removed without draining the pipes. It also has a outflow pipe which can be easily attached with a hose or emptied into a 5 gallon bucket. The filter is a high flow filter with enough power to push water up the internal pipes to flow out of the waterfall at the top of interior compartment. The filter also has an inner compartment which can hold a packet of activated charcoal and paper filter. The filter itself is a bit overkill, but the pump presure was needed to push the water up the pipes to make the waterfall flow properly. A shut off valve can be adjusted to reduce/increase the flow.
Compartment 3: lighting
The top section is a hidden drawer which slides out. On the underside is mounted a 18" or 24" UV light strip and a ceramic light fixture. These are both wired together into a single grounded plug so the whole lighting system can be opperated with a timer. There is also a wide adjustable vent to increase air flow. The aluminum screen between this section and the terrarium section is sandwiched between 1x4s and pretty solid.
