That looks great!

(I like your Boondock Saints poster in the background, too.)

Re: B.E.P. (Breeding Enclosure Project) UPDATE!!!!

holy cow, thats huge. I wish I was so handy with wood. Truthfully I have no idea what I'm doing!

ALSO thanks for the idea on the side vent. I'm going to be stealing that so I can have full glass on my front doors.

Re: B.E.P. (Breeding Enclosure Project) UPDATE!!!!

So I just finished the drawer for the laybox and all I have to do is seal the corners and fill it about 5/6 full of playsand. At the moment until I find non adhesive shelf liner I am going to use cardboard for the side that has the drawer and for the bottom of the floor. Until I fill it with sand, I will put a hide down there. Once I fill it with sand, half of the hole will be covered up and it would turn into a cave for her that she can climb in and out of easily and lay her eggs.

Just use some aquarium safe silicone. Run a bead down the corner and then run your finger along to push it in.

And if you wet your finger first the sealant will not stick to it and you will get a smoother seam.
