Thank you I appreciate that ! & I wasn’t a fan of the tents…until I had to go this route lol. But now I’m seeing that they aren’t too bad ! This is my 1st time messing with a grow tent…little own trying to turn it into a temporary reptile enclosure haha ! It’s been a struggle & a pain in my 🤬at times 🤣😂 But… it’s not looking too shabby & I think it’ll serve its purpose for a while ! My poor peach throat has been long overdue for an upgrade..so this will be great !

Looking great. I would suggest putting some bricks or cinder blocks on the interior perimeter of the tent. Georgia is eventually going to start testing for weaknesses in the tent and the first spot they always go is the bottom corners and by the door. The second basking spot Id go a 40-50 watt hologen the tents hold heat and humidity extremely well so no need to go to high on watts there. Other then that hes going to be a happy boy

Good points & thank you for the tips ! I totally forgot about reinforcing the inside perimeter ! Good looking out lol ! I’ll hafta run to Lowe’s/Home Depot for some cheap bricks. Good thing both stores are 5min from me lol. & thank you for the input on the 2nd basking spot. Great minds think alike haha, I already have a 50w halogen in there. The bigger basking spot I have a 80w deep heat projector & a 75w halogen…Will that be too hot do u think ? I could swap out the 75 for a 50 ?

Looks nice so far. Does it have a window on the flap you close?

[@amysreptileadventures6664]

Thanks ! It actually looks better now, I’m almost done with it. It does have a heavy plastic window on the door. It also has a “shade” that goes over the window that you can roll up & secure. That way the window is always visible. I know a couple people that cut the plastic window out and do some kind of Framework and replace it with a heavy duty wire mesh ? That way there’s more direct airflow in the tent. But that’s above my skill leval ! lol I’m not even sure how that would be secured onto the tent material ? 🤷🏼‍♀️😵‍💫🤣
