Here are some pics of the enclosure so far. It is far from done, I still have a faux rock wall and obvious screening and woodwork on canopy and cage to do. I also built the cabinet under it. Tell me what you think so far.

The heat lamp and uvb hood will be in the canopy, that bulb in the picture is an extra grow light for the plants in the bottom of cage. As far as drainage I am using expansion foam for rock wall and bottom, sanding the foam to a slope to a piece of pvc to the drain bucket hidden in cabinet. Then use paintable silicone to seal foam and gaps before paint. Sealant is indoor polyurethane, with month dry time after

30"x30"x54" minus a few inches due to faux rock wall to cover planters and grow light.
