Nice set up! I like power suns. I got a powersun 2 years ago, although it no longer gave out uvb, it still worked as a heat lamp untill a few weeks ago.

Very Nice!! Do you keep fish in that tank as w.d. LOVE to catch & eat them plus they are a good source for calcium.

feeder fish are not a good idea for reptiles unless you dont mind parasites... or you trust your local pet store to not carry parasites =X
nice set up!
how do you keep the humidity in? are the sides covered with plexi?
also. does that material stand up well to the power sun uvb MH bulb? i always was curious if it would melt or not... seeing that the frame is plastic ? (or maybe you have a different enclosure then LLL reptile sells)

That’s why you quarantine and treat them prior to feeding.-RD

yeah, i feed feeder fish all the time and never have i had any problems. I think this suspicion came about because other fish you feed them to often get parasites.

Hey everyone thanks for the comments....No i dont keep fish in the tank in his cage, i do have a separate tank that i keep minnows in and then i feed them to him by hand. The enclosure that i have is made out of screen with a metal frame....it sucked at holding the heat and humidity in but i have solved that problem. I have wrapped the sides and back of the cage with glad press and seal, it works really nice keeping the temps and humidity at the desired levels, the top is screen too and the lamps just rest right on top, I have towels over the top that also help hold the heat in and one towel hangs down over the front/main door. I got the enclosure on ebay so i couldnt tell you who makes it.
