    Re: Turning a glass tank vertical?
    Wow those tanks are awesome Richard. Thanks everyone for the tips. I'm definitely going to get creative. I'm gonna make my own background and really deck it out in plants. I have some old windows so can I just use that same glass for my doors? There's a glass cutter near my home that I could bring the dimensions to

    I did that for my dwarf chams when I had them. But ended up putting them in a larger tank so it was a waste. Looked cool though but I scrapped it. Might make one for my creastie but not for a while.

    Just an idea of the route I went... It may not be the cheapest way, but its large enough to hold 2-3 creties. as of right now I do not have an issue with keeping the humidity up, the coconut fiber seems to do the trick. In the rare event that I have a huge humidity drop, i do have plastic I can drape over, still leaving the sides open for fresh air.

    The Cage Topper ran me about $40. But as stated above. Its got more than enough room.

    Also there is no issue of the live crickets jumpping out. I make sure they fall straight down. They do not have a real chance of escaping, as my crestie spares no time in chompping them up.
