than just one way to do things, IMO.

Haha. Well i did use the flash so its really bright on the pic!

I like the insulation idea, altough its not very aesthetic. It would make the ambient heating more efficient.

If i had more time I could make a 3d foam background but i would need like 3 days with smoothy out of his cage so... Hard to do. I have done those for bioactives before.

What do you use to cover the glass for privacy ? Like aquarium paper ?

I like to put up scenery first (outside the glass of course), then you can insulate behind that. Many things work, poster boards (they come in white or black, with foam
core), cork (rolled or tiles), styro-foam sheets, brown corrugated, even self-stick carpet tiles...many things you can use that look decent- even paneling cut to fit. When
you insulate their cage, it also helps reduce bass vibrations from things you might be doing (like music or movies, etc).
