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.

We must have been typing at the same time.
I like the new ones as well. That was another debate of mine was to split 4ft cage or to make smaller ones.
I have another question this can be for anyone what kind of rails does use for the sliding window? And where do you purchase them from?

It is a custom built tank my friend and I did I have built all of my tanks never bought one yet as I prefer being able to make it exactly how I want it. The whole stack is 5 tanks tall but 4 of the tanks are all in one unit we did this because if It was all 5 in one unit it would not fit threw a door so the 5th tank sits on top and secures kind of like a puzzle the bottom of the top tank has some strong wood pieces that stick up and on the bottom of the 5th tank it has cut outs so it sits right on; no risk of it falling then. Each tank is 4 Foot long by 2 foot wide by 16 inches tall with sliding plexy glass fronts; each tank has a UVB Strip with two light sockets one for day basking bulbs the other for night heat bulbs when it gets cooler here. The switch you can see on the UVB strip is what controls this when I turn the UV off for the night I flick that switch and the red light comes right on; it is also set up for a timer which I need to go out an get so I don't have to do it by hand. The inside of the tank is made from Luan and the outside is Hardwood Plywood in between those layers on the back and sides is 1/2" House hold insulation this lets me use smaller lights without losing any heat. Each tank also has a good size vent on each side one vent is at the bottom of the tank and the opposite vent at the top this allows proper air flow; each vent also has a screen cover so no babies or crickets can get out. My friend and I are going to start building these tanks to sell as a lot of people have been asking about getting some made especially here locally.

I'v considered using insulation in some of my cages. But had a few second thouhts about it and never fallowed through with it. Then I never really met anyone thats tried using it or done it either. In southern cali it gets hot in the summer do you think the insulation would help keep the outside heat out aswell as my desired inside heat in the cage.

What type of rails are they plastic or metal. The price is great I think I pay 10 dollars for 4' top and bottom without shipping.

I would think so if you went to a lower watt bulb but I can't tell you for sure as I have yet to test it in hot weather.
