Changi's enclosures

This is a recycled small sideboard.

Polystyrene before grouting, painting and sealing.

Still have to put 2 holes in the back for round vents.

Just been told (by someone not on this site) that it looks like turkish baths lol

Not quite the look I was going for but hey ho.

It is a first atempt and a work in progress.

Only one more layer of grout to add to the side with the steps and can start painting, can't wait.

Looks great! May I ask the dimensions? I want to make something like that but I need measurements. This will be a summer project.
BTW, I made a simular stonelike structure for mine that looks like yours. I made it when she was small, its way too small for her now.

Thanks very much turtlelover1992

kmc5:- Internal measurements are only 15x15x30 inches, but this is just a first home for one of the new beardies. I expect the baby to grow out of it pretty quick

We are hoping to move some time soon and they will all get 4ft vivs at that point, but my son has enjoyed helping to make this for his beardie, hence such bright colours.

This is our first attempt so hoping future ones will turn out ok.

Have learnt a lot from the experience that we can take on to our next project.

Just recieved the arcadia 12% in the post today.

On all the platforms the distance isnt a problem, I will just attatch it to the ceiling, but obviously at floor level its impossible to have it at the same distance, however with the internal height only getting to 15 inch, he aint gonna be far away even on the floor.

I have an angled light fitting for the basking light so that should be ok too, aldo have a ceramic heat bulb for night time.

 

[Grogshla]

awesome work mate.
remember not to use any night bulbs or under tank heating.
Keep us updated it sounds great

Cheers for the advice, not bought either of those things after reading up on here.

This is a great place for info, thanks everyone.

I must spend at least 3 hours a day reading posts, plus even more time just browsing.
