    ***Important Please Read***
    Someone has pointed out that my electrical wiring wasn't safe for the porcelain light socket and they are correct. Please Use heat shrink Wire Connectors to safely do this part. With the exposed stripped wire insert it into the connector, then heat shrink it so the plastic covers the wire, and then put the bolt through the ringed clamped and tighten the bolt onto the socket down. I truly apologize for the unsafe practice demonstrated in that section of the video. You can find this product at home depot or here is an amazon link to it. This product will have instructions on it.

    The difference with lumber sizing is what's known as "Net Vs Nominal" in the lumber and construction world. Nominal is the common name for board sizes (1x4, 2x6, 4x4 etc) while net would be the true sizing (.75x3.5, 1.5x5.5, 3.5x3.5). The boards are net 2x4 when they are first rough cut from logs before they are milled and surfaced into smooth material, it loses the half inch in the milling and surfacing process. Hopefully you see this and add it to the knowledge bank. I'm a fellow herper that has sold lumber for 7 years now lol

      Paint doesn't stick to silicone, unless it's paintable silicone and then it only kinda sticks... why not just use dynaflex 230/ultra and paint over that?

  • @kaiw.7565
    @kaiw.7565 2 года назад +5

    Wow, that took way too long to finally find your video.
    It actually is the most usefull i saw on here and i guess ill stick to it in large parts when building the enclosure for my our bearded dragon.
    A quick tipp i got from another video, when you use the paint/sealing before you silicone the outside lines, you wont have the problem of paint/sealing not wanting to stick to those parts.
    Cheers and thanks again!

    Great instructional video. However, the UVB light should not be the same length of the enclosure. It should ideally be 1/2 the length of the enclosure (and on the same side as your heat lamp). Your beardie needs a shady side for getting away from the light. And also add a hide of some sort so they can have complete shelter away from the light.

Then take the one that is 1/4 and cut an inch off of it, couldn't you just buy it two 1/3 so you wouldn't have to cut the 1-in off. Love your videos you are one of the people on RUclips that I'm only watch for the subject because some of them don't know what they're doing some of them say that the enclosure cost $100 but it's really about a $400 enclosure it's crazy😊

      Pretty sure it's because they are rough sawn to 2x4 then the additional milling to smooth out the surface drops it down to that final dimension. If it was shrinkage from drying then there would be a lot more variety in dimensions of lumber which isn't good for dimensioned lumber.

      Between the top and bottom front boards for the door, I have 18 and 1/2," when you put down 18.5" did you mean a half inch like I did or was that a mistyped to mean 5/16?" Cause it seems closing the gap by a few fractions of an inch would have worked.

      I believe it is 1/4” it should say on the label of it in the video or in my description. Make sure to look that over

    @rogermoore6265 2 года назад

    The acrylic was only 18” wide and in the video you say the space is 18.5 so how is it not short to fit? Also the inside length for the track was 43” but the two sheets of acrylic are 24” each or 48” total. Did you cut these down? Or do you leave the 5” of overlap? If so how do you lock/secure them. Thanks

    Question: ive read pine is toxic for these guys, is this true? Also read somewhere plywood is toxic as well, it did mention birch was “safe” but I’m wondering if it’s got a sealer on it, does it really matter if regular plywood is used? Also wondered if coating the inside sides of the wood with a sanded or unsanded grout would be ideal? I’ve spent 60+ hours making foam backgrounds before for a friend and planned on doing it again for mine

      Yes they’re big enough! Temps depend on lots of factors like how warm is your house, and bulb wattage

    Does it matter if it's not birch plywood could it be pine or something along those lines?? Also if you do respond would it be ok to stain and polyurethane the outside and maybe drylock the inside or maybe even poly the inside too and not use any drylock?? Plz any help would be deeply appreciated.
