Another self-built terrarium

I decided the first one I built was just a bit too small for Talyn. (It had originally been intended for Q.) So I decided to build a new one. I think this one came out much better -- practice makes perfect!
Here it is almost done... Just the sliding glass doors and she's ready to go. On the right side, I have a viewing glass window and on the left side I have two shelves to hold the SuperFog machine and other supplies. The terrarium measures 5'x 2.5' x 2.5'

(hmmm, now I have to think about what to do with the extra terrarium!)

Well done. Neat idea on the window and shelfs. Looks like you put some time into that enclosure.

Looks really nice I bet you could make good money on the side making those if you wanted. It looks really cool, yet practical.

Thank you

Thanks everyone. I really enjoyed making it and I'm quite proud of this one.
We put it in place last night. When the glass is in, and the temps/humidity have been tested, Talyn will move from the glass one above to this one below and our future Green Tree Python will move into the top one, once we've re-fitted it with perches, plants, etc.

Here's the new setup and some pics of Talyn checking out her future home. (I think she liked it!)

(PS -- the frog sculptures are just for fun -- they probably won't stay in there.)
