I know Alexander is a wee one at 2 feet, but I ran across a used partially broke 10 gallon tank or a couple of dollars at a thrift store and decided to try my idea out on combining the two tanks into one long one. I broke out the panels needed and since I didn't have a screen for the other side I just put a wood panel and turned it to the wall. This gave him a glass look out to the room in the addition. Remember I was the one who turned his tank on it's side for easy access.....This worked fine but he didn't care for the other side, though I had it decorated and had hidey spots. What was the problem? He wanted a screen front after I turned it around and got a screen for it. He goes on the other side all the time. I think he felt more trapped or something being behind glass.
Anyway he has a nice 3 ft home to run about in now. I relocated it on a shelf that runs the length of my bed and it has a window that gives heat in the daytime. Too bad it frosted glass though, he could look outside otherwise. And decorative lamp at the far end that gives off a bit of heat too as well as ambient lighting.
As he get's bigger I will remove some of the decor so he can stretch out. But still leave enough so he can hide as well.
