    Niiiiice! I wish I could make one like that. Everytime I make one I end up not liking and scraping it. Flavor of the moment is wishing I hadn't done sliding doors :/
    'Tics, burms, balls, and geckos. A bunch of them.

    Re: Burm enclosure :)

    ok so 4 3" vents at each end 2 1.5" cord pass throughs in the back, silicone based sealant on all inside edges, low voc behr paint all around (4-5 coats). sliding glass will be done in front of the rounded openings. for those of you who dont like using wood....the first enclosure i ever built was over two years ago and used these same basic materials, though be it completely different in design, once i cleaned it out to sell it you couldnt even tell that the water dishes had been spilt almost daily in it.
