40 gal horozontal to vertical tank conversion
has anyone done this before? I am wanting to convert my standard tank to a vertical tank for my crested geckos. I also want some kind of climbing furniture setup along with misting... Main issue I am trying to resolve right now is the lid for a front door

Re: 40 gal horozontal to vertical tank conversion
Due to my inability to be patient and also my flaw of constantly trying to engineer this in my head, I have figured out how I am going to do this. I will be putting together a LOT of photos throughout the process. Stay tuned.

It's actually almost done. I've spent maybe 2 hours in construction of it, if even. I may have it completed tomorrow. Latching is the last part I have to design really. All that's left is putting on hinges and latches.

Thats pretty neat... I dont know much about cresties but that seems like there should be more hiding space?

Re: 40 gal horozontal to vertical tank conversion
Cages are often a work in progress It's looking great! As you mentioned before, adding stuff for vertical hight is great. I have fallen in love with magnetic vines, like the ones offered here:

With some neodynium magnets and a trip to wal-mart you can make your own magnetic climbing structures easily. I like them because they are non-permanent for cleaning purposes, and it's easy to place them how you like.
If you were to make your own, I would suggest putting a layer of soft plastic material (lots of options, silicone obviously is one) over the magnet to provide some friction to prevent the magnets from sliding down the glass sides.
