Come costruire uno stack di rete, Passo dopo passo

UNRetes Stack, also known as a basking stack, è un termine comunemente usato nella comunità di allevatori di rettili, in particolare per i varani come il monitor Ackie.

Retes stacks are essentially basking units designed to provide a gradient of heat and hiding spots for the monitor lizard.

The Retes Stack consists of stacked flat wood or stone pieces with spacers in between, creando fessure e piattaforme su cui la lucertola possa arrampicarsi e crogiolarsi.

Avendo più livelli, ciascuno con temperature diverse, la lucertola può scegliere il punto preferito per crogiolarsi pur essendo parzialmente oscurata.

Gli strati della pila sono solitamente angolati per creare fessure strette in cui le lucertole possono incastrarsi, fornendo un senso di sicurezza.

L'obiettivo è creare un intervallo di temperatura graduale e offrire alle lucertole ampie scelte per crogiolarsi.

The specific design and construction of a Retes stack can vary based on individual preferences and the needs of the particular species being kept.

Per esempio, Frank Retes, un rispettato appassionato di rettili e creatore del concetto, recommends using plywood sheets instead of stone due to safety concerns.

I cumuli di pietre possono rappresentare un rischio di lesioni o schiacciamento per i rettili. Se opti per le pietre, try to get flat stone slates and make sure they are secured tightly.

Quando si costruisce uno stack Retes, è essenziale assicurarsi che poggi sul pavimento del recinto per evitare che il varano si infili sotto e possa ferirsi.

La pila deve essere robusta e assemblata in modo sicuro per evitare incidenti.

Retes Stacks
Retes Stacks for Lizards
  • Plywood sheets: These will form the main structure of your Retes stack. The size and thickness can vary depending on your preference and the size of your reptile.
  • Screws or nails: To secure the plywood sheets together.
  • Sandpaper: To smooth out any rough edges on the plywood.
  • Non-toxic sealant: To protect the wood and make it safe for your reptile.
  • Lampade riscaldanti: To provide the necessary heat for your reptile. A cluster of at least two halogen flood bulbs is recommended.
  • Digital thermometers: To monitor the temperatures in the enclosure. An infrared temperature gun can also be used to measure the basking surface temperature.

Fare un passo 1: Cutting the Plywood

Primo, you’ll need to cut your plywood. Start by measuring the size of the enclosure to determine how big each piece needs to be.

Ricordare, the size and thickness of these pieces can be adjusted based on your personal preference and the size of your reptile.

Once you’ve taken your measurements, use a saw to carefully cut the plywood into rectangular pieces.

Make sure the edges are smooth and there are no splinters that could potentially harm your reptile.


Fare un passo 2: Creating Angled Layers

Prossimo, you’ll want to create angled layers.

This step is all about maximizing the available space in the enclosure and creating tight, cozy spots for your lizard to hide. To do this, angle each plywood layer slightly.

This slight angle will create crevices that your lizard can wedge into, providing them with a sense of security and a place to hide when they want some privacy.


Fare un passo 3: Assembling the Stack

Ora, it’s time to assemble your stack.

Start from the bottom and work your way up, layering the pieces of plywood on top of each other. Make sure each layer is securely attached to the one below it.

You can use screws or nails for this purpose. Remember to maintain the slight angle you created in the previous step.

Anche, make sure the stack is sturdy and securely assembled to avoid any accidents.

You don’t want any pieces falling or shifting unexpectedly.


Fare un passo 4: Sealing the Stack

Once your stack is assembled, you’ll want to seal it.

This is especially important if you’re using plywood, as it can absorb moisture and deteriorate over time.

Use a waterproof sealant and apply it evenly over the entire surface of the stack.

Allow it to dry completely before introducing your reptile to its new home.


Fare un passo 5: Adding Heat Sources

da ultimo, add heat sources to your Retes stack.

Position a heat lamp directly over the stack and another off to the side to create a temperature gradient.

Monitor the temperatures regularly to ensure they are within the safe range for your reptile. Remember to turn off the heat at night.

And there you have it! Your Retes stack is now ready for your reptile to explore and enjoy.

Ricordare, the key to a successful Retes stack is ensuring it is safe, comfortable, and suitable for your specific reptile’s needs.

Happy building!
