Because of its design, I can't access the ID. It is sandwiched between two heatsinks. The place I bought it from gives this ID, but there is a possibility of it's inaccuracy: TEC1-12706. Here is a bit more important info:

Wow sound awesome! How about the tillansias, do they enjoy the humidity? I had one in my terrarium but it rotted..

Yeah, mine are getting really big. I've got some spanish moss growing too. I've lowered the humidity to 85, they were looking a little too waterlogged.

Rammplins any luck on the peltier info? I've been looking around, I've picked out a thermostat and AC-DC adapter/transformer.

This is what i have so far, but getting an answer from my pal is like pulling teeth. So it has not been verified safe yet, but according to what i can find it is good so far. Only things i can say so far is make sure the dimmer you get can handle 6amps. Also im not sure if the system is safe for the fan in there or if it will get overloaded.

Thanks, thats a huge help. I've found a thermostat control unit (super cheap too, only $7 and highly recommended) that will allow me to bypass the dimmer. I've got to order it soon, but I've been spending a lot on the chameleon free range (which is coming along great, I've got all the PVC picked out, I only need a tiny bit more, plus a few more vines, and then I'm good to go)

Thermostat. Great idea, I guess when trying to control the temp that's probably the way to go. lol. Also I know how you feel, my tank is almost ready to put together. I'm just missing a couple pieces, but groceries are kind of important.

Ok here's my latest project, feeding a free range chameleon. The setup is almost done, the only steps left are adding a grate (as a table for the plants), a humidifer (I'll just use another zoomed one, or use my existing one for that purpose), and food resources (ex: habitat to breed feeder insects, and most importantly, a way to give him that food [something that lets him get the moving crickets, but they can't get out to run around my room]). So far my best idea is running a vine over a bin of live crickets, but I'm not sure that'll work well

Apparently that will work, you just use a bin that has good contrast to the crickets, that's a lot easier than I thought it would be ha ha ha. I lost a ventricosa, its been shriveling for a while but then when into full rot, I even lost its saplings at its base.

Ok, here's the chameleon free range, what do you guys think? I'm still planning a N. Ventricosa location, maybe a few others if I can gain enough control over humidity.

Sorry those are all sideways, I have no idea why.

The chameleon is coming tomorrow

yay! what kind did you end up getting? and is there a way for him to get back up should he find his way to the floor? also how are you gonna leave the top to the cricket bin open without crickets getting out?

Well I have a healthy (small) male jackson's chameleon. I actually have the crickets in surprisingly shallow bowls (2 inch PVC caps as well as 1 4 inch cap) they don't jump out. He can't get to the floor in any way. His eating habits are super cool, he once hung upside down by his tail and whipped his tongue to catch a cricket. He has also eaten from my hand.

I've just added a butterwort to the soil of my juvenile umbrella tree. I've purchased a 4 inch PVC cap for a nepenthes pot and am deciding where to put it and what to put (I may do two in one pot). I'm thinking a Ventricosa for sure and maybe an Alata? Any other suggestions?

Thats awesome! I love watching chameleons eat. As for the neps all i know is that ventricosa is fairly sturdy, he can survive almost anywhere you put him. And speaking of neps, did you set up the peltier cooler yet?
