Thanks all

All together it took me about 5 days of biulding and painting to make the cage and a day to decorate it I spent between 250-300 on all the materials and plants but I still need more vines and a mister system. And I could keep going on and on about ways I can add to or make the setup more...

I have a 2.5 foot palm tree in the back left and plan on adding more branches and vines at the top for climbing he is still pretty small. At last weigh in he was 9.5 grams

The mayan calender I got off amazon and grouted and painted it to match. it's made of ceramic where the rest of the background is foam and grout

I got a sheet of styrofoam from home depot and trimmed it to fit and then took the scraps and sliced them into long thin pieces and glued them to the sheet of foam to make the bricks. Then coated the whole thing in non sanded tile grout in several coats and let it fully dry then painted it and...

That enclosure is absolutely impressive. Is everything controlled by an arduino board and for the dimming lights did you have to program that yourself or was it a pre made controller. As far as extra lights go I have a 16ft led strip that will be mounted to the top of the enclosure along with...

New cage next to the current one. Still lots of work to go but just some progress shots

I have been to several local home depot type stores looking for screen identical to what is used in a repti breeze. I am pretty sure it's pvc coated metal. Does anyone know where to get the same screen they use and perhaps how much a roll of it costs

I fully agree these were just ideas being throw around by a friend and I I doubt the final outcome will be anywhere ear that elaborate. More than likely i will end up with sunrise sunset dimmers and a cloud effect for when mister come on.

I am planning something very similar what was your build cost on this project
