That custom enclosure you're talking about sounds phenomenal. What are you using for the bottom to ensure that it properly holds that much water?
Yea he hardly ever sits still in there, lol. Always jumping from the highest branch into the water.

I'm not positive how I'm going to make it yet, but I'm envisioning a glass bottom sealed with aquarium silicone sealant and a wood frame around that to tie it into the rest of the cage. Basically an aquarium custom made for the enclosure. I'll build the rest of the 1/4th floor I have left to just above the water level. Probably 14 or so inches off the bottom of the cage I'll have two cabinet type doors that will open the height of the cage for easy access. I was planning on a mesh siding on all 4 sides above the water line, but I'm not positive how well that will hold humidity. The sides may end up being water proofed wood and just the doors will be screened. Lighting, heating, misting, etc will all be built into the top of the cage with safety guards around the heating elements. I think I may set up an automatic misting system while I'm at it, to stream line things. Overall I plan on spending a pretty penny and making this thing like a piece of furniture. I just hope it doesn't end up weighing a ton!
