• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

Hey all,
The last few weeks I've been reading up on ETB's but haven't seen that much on what to use for heat and humidity. I am definitely going to get a thermostat would a helix system be good? I used it for my bearded dragon colony and have had no problems.
So my question is what is suggested to use to get temperatures to about 82 degrees in the day time?
I would prefer to use a misting/rain system on a timer instead of misting myself during the morning, any good products that people know of I can read up on that can maintain a 80%+ R.H?
I don't plan on purchasing an ETB for atleast a year or two but I've been so interested by them that I would love to read more on some things I can use and have an enclosure ready and stable before it arrives.
Also, are there any recommended cages/enclosure ready made out there? I've read vision cages work well and hold humidity great
Thanks for looking
 
For emeralds i treat them like green tree pythons if your familiar with their care, but i do keep the humidity just a little bit denser. For emeralds a hotspot of 87-89 degrees, an ambient of roughly 80. For humidity i hand spray cages heavily in the morning and then let it evaporate throughout the day. If the front of the cage is still fogged up or dripping with water from a previous misting, i skip it. A good enclosure to look for would be something that is horizontally oriented, but still has a little more than average height to it. Boa master cages, www.pmherps.com, and other companys often have specific aboreal snake enclosures that work nicely.
