Enclosure Setup

Terms

Plain rules for the planner and the plans.

What a plan is

A plan sizes a setup for the species, enclosure and room you entered, from current keeper guidance and lamp makers' distance charts. Distances, wattages and quantities are starting points: measure temperatures, humidity and, where it matters, UV in the first week as the plan says, and adjust. Animals differ. A plan is not veterinary advice.

Your plan

A plan is for your own enclosure. You may not resell it. If it is wrong for your enclosure, write to us and we will fix it and send it again.

Electrical safety

Use fixtures rated for the bulbs you run, keep lamps out of reach of the animal, and run every heat source through a thermostat.

Links to stores

Some links go to supplies on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Those stores sell to you under their own terms.

Limits

The site and the plans are provided as they are. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses from using them beyond the amount you paid us.
