cole Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 hey guys, how important is good ventilation? almost ready to buy my first dragon but want the enclosure to be up to scratch, would fitting a computer fan to the ceiling be a good or bad idea..

broms2 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 just realised no one has answered! looks like there is no ventilation? If it were myself I would put mesh inserts and also a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 good spotting and advice broms i would remove the rattlesnake before putting the bd's in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake kid Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 WHY IS THERE A SNAKE IN THERE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 no need to yell the snake is probably there to keep the prairie dogs away until the beardies arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 those snakes are common in nz just have to look in the rite places :lol: send me a camelion or 3 and ill send you a handfull of those snakes 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks guys, so looks light i will be replacing the spotlight on the left with a fan and adding some mesh to the rear ceiling panel. Midday left side of tank sits around22deg, right 30deg and basking spot 42deg, large hide rocks are hollow and have the lowest temperature.. new to reptiles and thought that daily maintenance will provide enough air movement, am probably over paranoid about keeping the heat in , don't want to spend that sort of money to it kill through not knowing the basics. snake is gone, MAF spotted it...

livingart Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 i'm glad you let maf take your snake cause they might get loose and kill our koalas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Didn't think we had Koalas here, they should be safe up the trees, our mice/Bilbies/kiore would be a easy meal though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 aren't those pouched, aussie, tree climbing and devouring, overstayers koalas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
