So I have my Bp set up in a 20g breeder tank, but zeus is starting to outgrow it. I had an idea that I think will be pretty simple to do and should give him a lot of room.
What I plan on doing is taking the bottom piece of glass off of his current tank and building a plywood box with the same lenght and width of his current tank and only about 6 in high or so. I would put his bottomless tank ontop of this new box with holes in each end so that he can get down into it and back out of it. So the top of this new box is now the bottom of his current tank. I was planning on puting in dividers to section the bottom off into three chambers that he could move between. So basically the new box would be like adding another level to his current cage that is completely dark. The new level would serve as his hides and would probably retain humidity better than his glass tank does. The front of the new level would have hinges on it to allow me to clean it out.
He would have all of the room he has now plus I would remove his hides from the top tank so he would have even more open space (filled with stuff to climb on and through). And then he would have the same amount of floor space down bellow that is dark to move around in.
What do you think? Has anyone done anything similar? It seems like the best of both worlds, he has dark space to enjoy and I get to see him if he wants to come out and wander around the glass upper level.
