The Future looks good for Ziggy.

[Stinger]

Hi all , Just wanted to share this with all of you folks.
I finally complete Ziggy's future Home .This Cabinet was DIY gutted out and convered. I wanted this to look to be a piece of furniture in our living room .That way Ziggy is always with us. The cabinet itself was purchased at a second hand store for $70 from there the screens were added,background work I did myself using foam, and all safe acrylic paint and sealed water proofed, and time to cured at least a month . Bottom drainage system built myself ,raised one side by 1 inch to drain into a bucket. My total cost for all was about $300 to convert,Mistking and lighting was a additional cost.
So has you can all see anything is possible. The dimensions are Depth 30" Width 28" Height 52". This will be a great habitat for My Boy Ziggy when he is about 10 months to a year old . Has you all can see the medium size habitat is inserted inside to help me out on drainage purposes.
Ziggy's future Penthouse

Very nice! I bet he he will love his new home.

I do have a question. Will the light be inside the new enclosure?

Dear Jannb, thanks for your reply. The lights will not be in the enclosure at all, I have a fitted screen for above ,but just not placed in for now . Above is a cut away on the roof that I Jigsaw cut to fit the above screen and for the Arcadia 24 inch T5 HO Quad light system consisting of 1 UVB UVA at 12% two. 6500K daylight and one Tropical plant tube all made by Arcadia It sits above the screen just perfect and if I have too raise I can . Right now I have set up away about 12 inches away from the Medium 18X18X36 ZooMed screen habitat.
I am very pleased with Arcadia it's absolutely amazing and the Best .
Thanks to Todd at Lightyourreptiles.com It was worth every $ even paying the US exchange rate. Besides I couldn't find it in Canada .
Thank you again

All protected above , also due to water of Mistking misting system ,I also have all my electrical GFI ground faulted. For Power Outages it's set up with 1hour Battery backup used for PC's.
