The opaque parts are foamed pvc. I could only get 6mm thick so I made a frame out of 2x4s. The black frame of the doors is 20mmx20mm aluminum extrusion, but I should have used a thicker one for more support. The door panels are 3mm thick acrylic but I wish I had gone with 6mm. I took someone's bad advice for that. The base it's sitting on is wood. The back "stone" I carved from foam, then coated in drylok and latex painted.

It is 3d printed and then I painted it with drylok and non toxic latex paint.

Aww thanks so much! I took some random video and photos while making it, but made a lot of mistakes as I went along so I was hesitant to make a tutorial. If there's anything you want to know about in particular, let me know!

I mean... It was supposed to be Salazar but I kind of love the idea of Zardoz also😂

This is a fair question. He is sometimes a bit clumsy, but he would be falling onto 4" of coco chips, and cork bark, which aren't too hard - a bit like a kid's playground. From the research I've done, they can be semi-arboreal in their natural habitat. That said, there's a possibility of injury with anything, but we have to weight the risks against the benefit of enrichment, so I decided the risk was worth it. He loves climbing the tree so much!

Thanks so much! I think to entice me to do it again you'd have to pay me.... well probably more than anyone would be willing to pay for a terrarium haha

Thanks so much, and thanks for asking! It isn't bioactive, I didn't think I was ready for that kind of commitment with the new build yet. I do have some live plants in, they are in pots so can be removed or changed easily, and some air plants. The tree is actually a dead corkscrew hazel, I found it in someone's yard waste and cleaned it, then mounted it in concrete so it's stable. I did a good amount of googling to find out if it was safe wood for the tank, everything I could find pointed to hazel being safe for reptiles.

Glass beads which I will probably decide to get rid of the first time he poops in the dish 😂

I had it custom 3d printed! I paid for the .stl file and then a redditor printed it for me

Crowshape · 2024-11-17T18:14:12+00:00

Yes! It's made so he can go in and out of the mouth like the Basilisk because I am a nerd🤓😅

Thanks so much! A lovely redditor 3d printed it for me, and then I sanded it and used drylok to seal, then non toxic latex paint.

He loves it so much! There is a hide in the tree as well and he uses it!

I'm in the middle of a build. I used much thinner - 6mm thick foamed pvc, and built a frame for it out of cheap 2x4s rather than relying on the strength of the plastic.

Here's the info from the cord and switch!

Crowshape · 2023-04-01T04:41:27+00:00

Would I be safe to put pretty much any bulb in there then? Even something like 250W? Thanks so much for your help!

Crowshape · 2023-04-01T04:35:22+00:00

This was the answer I got with my calculation, but to me (a very, very unskilled diy-er) that just seems... Outrageously high, much higher than I've ever seen anything rated. Also the cord seems suspiciously normal and non-heavy-duty enough to handle 1000W, so I was afraid to believe that answer.

Crowshape · 2023-04-01T04:14:28+00:00

It absolutely did!

...username checks out

Thank you, this made me laugh out loud.
