I am building a 36w 18d and 48h glass enclosure for a male panther. My son and I are working on this one together.
We live in northwest Montana where it gets cold in winter and the indoor humidity is usually about 30%.
We are building a planted bioactive vivarium. The chameleon academy resources are guiding our build decisions.
I hope this helps some people that live in a similar northern climate.
I’ll continue to update this thread with our progress. Please ask questions or guidance for us.
The first challenge was learning that the reptizoo flat packed enclosures are made with tempered glass. Making a hole in tempered glass isn’t possible but we pulled it off…well a glass shop did and we paid them royally.
Anyway…some early pics:
The full tank with nothing but a drain hole.
Some building supplies:
Locally sourced and kiln dried sticks, Etsy sourced manzanita, carbonized cork, cork bark, black great stuff and black silicone.
Stay tuned for updates as we build on.
