    My poplar 55gal build in progress using basic tools

    Screens fit and installed. Started growing my wheat grass for the habitat as well. Sooo close to being done, but the hardest part is ahead.

    My poplar 55gal build in progress using basic tools

    Thanks! I used a carving knife and believe it or not I messed up three blocks out of five lol, I just couldn't get the angle right. I'm still worried that it's angled a little too high but we will see

    My poplar 55gal build in progress using basic tools

    Progress on it. Stained the wood, made some mounts for the lighting, and made the frames for the top screen (waiting for my screening to come in the mail)

    My poplar 55gal build in progress using basic tools

    I'm gonna use the danish oil for the entire thing. It's the only type of stain/finish that I know won't make the beardie sick, I'm honestly not sure what else I could use. I'm happy with the look of it anyways so I don't really intend on researching other stains

    My poplar 55gal build in progress using basic tools

    I hope so! The top of it will be a big screen so I think that should be plenty of ventilation for him

    My poplar 55gal build in progress using basic tools

    Progress. Flipped the back wall and moved the screen supports, doesn't look too bad. Everything is screwed down and square now. I'll just add an inch to the sides to level it out.

    My poplar 55gal build in progress using basic tools

    Hello, this is a work in progress but I just wanted to start a topic that I can keep updating. Everything here so far has been done indoor my living room with very basic tools (I have a tiny apartment with no outdoor space). So far the only tools and supplies I've needed: -Handsaw -Clamps...

    Made these wall cubbies to make my guy feel more secure :)

    My little guy was spending a lot of time stressing and wall surfing. My temps are right, foods right, lighting is right but he just freaked everytime he sees his reflection. I made these cubbies and he has really, noticeably calmed down. Took a hand saw, $3 poplar board and maybe fifteen...

    Is it bad to build a habitat from whitewood and poplar?

    While I have the topic open, will 66"(L) x 13"(W) x 15"(H) be enough space for a full grown beardie? I'm sure that the length is plenty but wasn't sure about the width or heigh

    Is it bad to build a habitat from whitewood and poplar?

    Okay, sounds good. I'll just use the poplar then in replacement, I didn't take that route initially just because of how expensive it was lol

    Is it bad to build a habitat from whitewood and poplar?

    And as a side note- I have everything planned out already. I'm wondering though how I should route wires, I can't seem to find a sort of seal/gasket/grommet that I can run them through if I drill holes in the side of the tank.

    Is it bad to build a habitat from whitewood and poplar?

    My little buddy needs a new tank, and I was thinking of disassembling his aquarium to build a larger tank from whitewood and poplar around it. Is there any reason why I shouldn't do this before I commit? The front would still be glass but the base and walls would be untreated poplar/whitewood...

    Growths / sores on my little guys face (pics)

    These sores seem to be bothering him. Looks like parts of his face are shedding but im pretty sure he's too young to shed. He keeps rubbing himself against things in his cage as if he's irritated or itchy, but is in clear discomfort Unfortunately I can't get a very clear pic because he...
