Cage construction should always be focused around achieving the correct heat and humidity first, by any means possible. |
Exactly why High rise caging is a heating problem and another reason why
UTH should be used under the overhead heat.
I never meant for it to be comprehensive. I didn't give dimensions or wattage or even get into bulb v/s
che v/s heat panel. It was just meant to be a very basic concept to keep in mind while designing your cage for your particular animal.
