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.

Ok thank you for those links I was able to print them out for study material later. but ya i had read about that in a different forum to have that kind of ratio so the basking spot is larger for them. But ya I will probably put two more ceramic fixtures in a sort of triangle shape and use tht when I do get my ackies.

yeah if you have a large cage like that i would use a zoomed powersun with halogen bulbs to help heat it up but still get the uv benefits

Yeah thats what I plan on doing. I just cranked up the thermostat a little bit and just the 150W red bulb I got with my blackthroat hit 145F for the basking site and it covered about a 2 foot circular radius so I am not worried about the heat issue. I just keep getting responses about the substrate depth issue and I already had the glass sliding doors custom cut to fit my specific measurements. So what i figured I would do is just get there to be around the 10 inches in the front of the cage and put a lot more towards the back and make it like 16in for them but we will see.

The substrate issue has never really been a problem for me when it comes to monitors. Sure it would be great to have 2+ feet of substrate for your monitor to burrow, but if you incorporate a lot of tight fitting intricate hiding places, i think he'll be fine. I use retes stacks for my ackies monitor and he spends most of his time crawling up and down them all day, it also helps with thermoregulation when you stack them under the basking area.

Right on man that sounds like a good idea thanx. And yeah i didn't think it was going to be much of an issue because i'm going to deck the cage out with a lot of fake plants and hide holes across the cage.
