I'm going to have to make my own light stand for the terrarium because the 2 I purchased to hold the double bulb Hoods is too short with a max expansion of 90cm (the height of my terrarium).
However the design of the pre purchased stands is what I am going to do to make the new ones except...
Well I got it all really cheap :D specially the plants because I got them from overseas and they were nearly a 10th of what you would pay in a shop in the U.S. etc.
The hanging plants were only $3-$4 each and all the "Lrg" size.
Added some more plants to the rear wall which I think is enough overall, both sides will be covered in plants so only the front shows view and the vines will also have plants intertwining around them with certain areas more dense as elevated hides for the chameleon.
There is nothing on the...
I'd also like to add that beyond the terrarium itself I also have a DIY 10L humidifier along with a 3 nozzle MistKing watering system already in my possession.
Well I am in a rural area in a 3rd world country so I need to get everything outside the country and bring it in personally.

Even though mine is quite large 48"Lx18"Wx36"H
Hello
I recently made these Bamboo poles which I fixed with a few coats of super glue to tiles that I plan to put inside the terrarium in order to wrap vines around and interconnect them all to create various vine bridges at variable heights throughout the terrarium.
Plan is to have...

Hello
Due to certain circumstances I am incapable of utilizing a Linear Fluro Light Fixture (long story short - I cannot get it into my country without paying 3x extra the overall cost of the fixture itself, and I do NOT see the linear fluro bulbs surviving the trip themselves).
So I have...
