Yep any old hardware store vent, ones with fly screen mesh behind the slits are better imo.
I got mine from b&q but I'm the other side of the pond so I don't know the US equivalent.

Bit of an update.
Next fit glass doors and start putting in the rear walls fake foliage

Then fit in branches using either screws for fixed perches or double hooks for easy removal.

Then start fixing the heating
Once that's in start putting in place all your main foliage.

Then more plants and leave to run for few hours with loads if thermometers placed all over the viv.
Then let your pride and joy explore her new home.

Now THAT is impressive. :D :gj: I build my own cages as well...but nothing as nice as that yet.

Very nice job!!!!

Sweet setup. I'm planning to make a custom setup in my hallway, building into the back of the bathroom closet it will have a window into see him from the hallway, might frame it like a picture even.

I'll definitely have to experiment with the 3d background you made.

Looks professionally done. Fantastic work. Gives me ideas for refurbishing my old 55 gallon.

How did you do the logs?

That's incredible. A work of art.

I agree that is beautiful. One of the best I've seen great work!

The logs on the back wall are stripped bark off a tree, left in a disinfectant bath over night then dried for 2 hours in oven on low heat. The climbing branches, same solution but dried in sun for 2 days as well as a little spray with a mite spray.
