Waterfall

[ReedsDragons]

(anyone want help or pictures let me know)

hello i make custom cages (mostly for myself as there not perfect and no one is willing to pay the cost and shipping is terrably high) anyways the other day i desided to put a waterfall in a cage because the waterdragons like slow flowing water better than still water (they will drink out of it the still water they just poop in for me) i went to homedepot and bought a plastick waterfall and some 1/2" tubbing couple fittings 100% silicon (aquareum safe) and a small bucket i had a 104 fluval filter at home i have been messing with it for 3 days now i drilled a hole in a nice cage in the bottom and in the back bottom corrner(bad idea because the cage will be getting moved) i got it running but the bottom of the cage fludded. because the silicone dident hold the tube and let it leak due to moving it. today i took it out and modified it i resiliconed the top of the drain flipe it over used hot glue then covered a large area with the silicone in a hope that it will hold this time. i also took silicon and covered the waterfall with it because the plastick was so slick the babys couldent climb it i then sprinkled playsand over it and let it sit tomarrow i will shake off the extra playsand and see how it looks. sunday or monday i will put it back in the cage if everything works out.

Spunds like quite the project! I am interested (as are others I am sure) in seeing pics of hom the final product turns out. Could you get us a snap shot or two when you are done and post them? I know your haveing a rough time with needing to borrow someone elses computer to posts so take your time. I just think it would awesome to see what the final project is. ;D

That's an awsome enclosure!!!!

Zeke also has a waterfall & loves it!! He stands in the base & drinks from the trickling water & also poops in his swimming pool!

i most defenatly will post pictures when im done i dont think the sand thing will last long as the silicone dont hold the best but if it dont i plan on using somthing like liquid nail or somthing that will last long

Zekey how do you clean the waterfall?

[ReedsDragons]

i havent had it long enough for it to need to be cleaned. but its hooked up to a filter. as for actually cheaning the waterfall i think a tooth brush and some cleaner will work i dont exspect that teh actual waterfall will need to be cleaned a buntch maby a wipedown once a week and a good cleaning once a month we will see

I'm getting a waterfall and fogger for my AWD's. Has anyone used these before, if so could you please tell me the advantages and disadvantages of using them
Thanks

[ReedsDragons]

well i have a waterfall advantage they see the water moving and drink out of it alot more than a tub of still water. disadvantage they can get cloged up/dirty easy.
they also can raise humidity.i havent used a fogger

I didn;t think Aussies had the humidity requirements of Chinese. The fogger will generate a significant amount of humidity and use a lot of water. I have mine on a 24 hr. timer that kicks it on for 1 hr. and off for 2. I use 2 quarts of water per day for it and my waterbell.

Yeah i the AWD's dont need humidity at all, but it isnt harmful to them. The fogger is mainly for looks
