New enclosure!! 4’x2’x4’

[yoyoshi]

I’ve been working on building a new enclosure for my buddy.We believe he is 7 months old. I’ve been basing my build a lot on https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/zen-style-tube-frame-custom-2x4x4-enclosure-build.184391/

It is a wooden enclosure that was painted and sealed with a water based poly. I’ve used 2” styrofoam board as the interior walls, and once I fill little gaps in the wall it’ll be sealed in with corrugated plastic. All of the mesh is aluminum screen mesh on the exterior of the enclosure, making sure he cant be exposed to any edges.
For lighting I have arcadia ProT5 48” UVB and 2 34” jungle dawn led’s.
I’m really hoping we’re safe to start moving onto the next stages and start to add the decor to the space. I have a money plant, 2 swiss cheese plants, and 2 golden pothos for the space as well as a lot of sticks.
I am learning as much as i can as quickly as I can to get him out of the small petco starter kit home his previous owner had him in into this. I would love any advice I could get from y'all would be so appreciated! I need him to be safe and I want to do this right. Thank you very much in advance!!

Looking great! Your off to a great start with your DIY enclsoure. Keep doing what you are doing.

One issue is you may need more lighting for a larger DIY enclosure.
