    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I don't have a small room in my house to turn into a reptile room. So I was going to build one, then I looked into the cost and $$ to high for my liking. I started trying to find canvas tents or something in that manner that I could set up in one of my large rooms. I came across grow tents. The only problem is that most material they're made of is usually toxic, after searching for a while I found a company online called gothamhydroponics.com and they have non toxic tents. I bought a 6.5'x6.5'x6.5' tent for under $200. They have alot of different sizes available...

It's awesome, holds temp, humidity, a light cycle and it is easy to clean...

 
I think I saw a fan (or something that could have been a fan) in there, but do you have it vented? Otherwise, I would expect that air quality would become a problem (which could result in health issues over time). Nice way to create/manage your climate control, though.

There is actually 2 6" duct fans (exhaust) that you cant see in the video in the upper ports on oposite sides from one another, as well as screen airflow on 2 sides of the the bottom of the tent. The intake vents at the bottom of the tent pull from the room the exhaust fans go into my attic. The fan looking thing you saw in the tent was a oil heater running on a 1000watt zilla thermostat. It sticks around 60degrees in the day and 30-40 at night here for spring and fall and around 0 degrees in the winter, so I have to keep the room heated.

Was wondering this as well.
 
I could sooo picture an ATF agent storming into your house and opening the tent LOL...very innovative and neat..

I saw the heater...and easily identified it as such - hence my previous statement. It would be pretty hard to mistake it for a fan.
