I have a crested gecko which requires high humidity. With the screen, am I able to retain the humidity in the terrarium?

Yes there is many ways moss is a good way to keep humidity I also use a small white towel wet it with warm water and place it on the top of the cage not only will it drip water for drinking but will keep humidity up also

Hi, I was told to put plastic wrap, like Saran Wrap on two or three sides to hold in the humidity. Hope that help. We have a veiled chameleon and I haven't done that yet because she seems fine.

No. Unfortunately I had the same idea and wanted to do so as well but then you would have to regulate the humidity in the entire room. The fresh air screen allows to much constant air flow and your burmese python will inevitably go though bad sheds from poor humidity. Hope this helps

Not easily! The screen does let a gd amount of airflow through though! And on occasion, when our dogs are having spastic energy and are in/out of the house like crazy dogs, we will drape one side of the screen off to the side ( we have a chair outside that we can set the lower part on). But to slide it like curtains, no, not easily!!

Yes, "cover the tray with the reusable clear plastic greenhouse dome to create the proper humidity level"

No. I would recommend reading up on care of the plant. I had the pitcher plant. My recommendation is to treat it like a venus plant and place in terranium like container so it can retain the moisture/

Humidity and moisture are bad for electronics in general. Leaving it on the bathroom counter with the fan on would probably be ok.

I have my two yr old rainbow boa in this tank. She is about two feet long. She is almost ready for a bigger tank. I have a 36in high tank and it retains more humidity. I spray my snakes three times a day to keep the humidity at 70% but I also have them in a sunny area and spray more sometimes. It depends how big your snake is too.

It all depends on the Iguana. If yours chooses to walk all over the screening and not on the habitat furnishings then it is possible. It is very common among chameleons, I have had my adult male veiled chameleon lose may 3 toe nails from walking on the screening, but it is not serious. If it happens, put Neosporin on the toe that lost the nail and that's pretty much all you can do. It is a great cage though!

Let me add that because I use this with the "Zoo Med Hygrotherm Humidity and Temperature Controller for Terrariums" I only need to refill it every few days. The problem with the unit when it runs continuously is that it produces way more humidity than is needed. The Hygrotherm will turn it on and off (the electrical cord for your Fogger goes right into the Hygrotherm unit) and it runs in short bursts throughout the day. It is an $80-90 investment, but has made life much simpler. I've had the two together for about 2 years (guessing), and both run fine. You can also plug your terranium heater into it and it works the same.

Information from product instructions: Use Zoo Med's High Range or Analog Reptile Thermometer to monitor the temperature of your terrarium. To properly monitor the temperature in your terrarium, it is recommended that you use one thermometer per each 20 gallons (i.e. use 2 thermometers for a 40 gallon terrarium etc.). Most reptiles sold in pet shops are tropical species (i.e.; boas, pythons, iguanas, water dragons, etc.) requiring a minimum air temperature of 80F (26.6C). The average house ranges from 65-75F (18-24C), and requires an additional heat source to keep the terrarium in the safe 80-88F (26.6-31C) zone. Incandescent lamps, ceramic heat emitters, and heat cables are also good additional heat sources.

We have a red iguana that crawls all over inside ours. He uses the screen to climb on. We did reinforce the sides with plexiglass because the cage is not that sturdy. Once we did that it works great. He is almost 2 ft. long from nose to tail. He is very active including using his nails to climb up the screen.

Yes. The screen can handle a LOT of heat, but the plastic edge of my tank warped from heat.

Regarding gaming and 3D; the performance of projection screens is mostly dependent on your projector's capabilities and ability to control lighting conditions. For me, it has worked fantastically for both gaming and 3D. Regarding keeping it in a garage; given the materials it's made out of (aluminum, felt, plastic, etc), I would say it should be ok to be kept in a garage, moisture shouldn't impact it too much. However, temperature changes MAY cause the screen material to become more/less "stretchy," but I assume it would maintain good tension regardless.

A basic heat rock in your terrarium should supply enough heat to keep it a steady temp of around 80 degrees. You can seal some of the openings so that the heat loss won't be too great that way it will remain in the terrarium. Hope this helps. I do this for my yearling turtles and it has worked very well so far.

I would say so . I do have strong screen tops & safely used 100 watt ceramic heat emitters on my bearded dragons' tanks all winter...Just make sure the type of bulbs or heat emitters you buy- aren't touching the screen directly. This was a concern of mine initially - but it worked out .

Very Little enough for a crested gecko unless were u live is always cold then u will need an extra heat source but crested geckos do not like over 82 degrees.

Not in my opinion. Leopard geckos need heat and the top of this unit probably won't accommodate a heat lamp without melting the plastic screen frame, though you could use UTH without problems. Also, it is pretty small for a gecko of any type or size. We have our bearded dragon (also a desert reptile like the leopard gecko) in an extra large Tetrafauna Deluxe Reptohabitat and we love it, though the Tetrafaunas can be hard to find.
