I went back all the way to 2017. After this point many of the pictures no longer work. But, if you feel I missed your build, just let me know.
I reserved it mainly to builds where the build process is documented so that people can follow and learn. There are many other custom enclosures that have been built here that don't really show the process of building them. So if you are still looking for ideas, I suggest looking through the DIY section more, or checking out the enclosures sticky to get ideas

Good idea to consolidate these into one spot.

I made mine out of spare wood, legos, chicken wire, tarp, rope, a curtain rod, and watercolor paper:

Without looking at the pics, that description sounds like something that should be in the MOMA. :roll:

...Or was that the point? :lol:

Thanks! I was just trying to get out of spending $400 on a tank of similar size, so I just went into my basement one day and started building. My mom was like "It's not going to work, just stop and go buy a 20 gallon tank." (I don't even think 40 gallons is enough.). I just powered through and ended up with a beardie mansion XD.
