Live stream of Tuck

[sakkakth]

I've had one stream going for awhile but I added another last night of the warm side of his enclosure. I also redid how it was streaming so hoping it stays stable.

If you are interested you can see it at www.tuckcam.com.

Please note that the cameras are at weird angles and make the enclosure look smaller than they are (especially the warm side)! I need to raise the warm side camera still but I haven't had a chance to get a stand. Should be a nice angle of him waking up and leaving his substrate tho.

He wakes up around 9-10am pst, so don't expect much "excitement" before that, heh.

P.S. I'm not a freak. I only ever started this cause my old tort had a nasty habit of flipping herself over and not being able to right herself so I'd have to go help her out.

Cool. Not sure if you are using FME but you can use that (it's free) and get better results. I switched to using that because then I could add more than one camera at a time.

Directions here if you are interested:

The next task is adding one to the outdoor enclosure once it gets warmer

The cool side uv light is on 24/7 because I ran out plugs on the timer for daytime. But since he sleeps on the warm side that shouldn't bother him. The warm side, everything turns off at 5:45 pst, but the camera I have adjusts to the amount of light so they pretty much are always visible.
