Hi!
I will be moving apartments soon and want to ditch the screen. I live in Canada and ive already had to enclose the sides of this enclosure in plastic to get his humidity up. He is also a big free roamer. I am looking to buy a glass cabinet and covert it into a enclosure. I will also be giving him a free roam with UVB. So i want to get a slightly smaller in depth glass cabinet but longer in length.

Ikeas are all too small. Where can I get something like ikea but larger? Has anyone made something? I thought of one with 3 sides wood, but wont that rot? And then I would need to go bioactive which I do not want to do.
So i want like a metal frame with glass, then I would make the top screen for lights.

Any Inspo? Help? Recommendations? Me and my partner are down for a DIY project or purchase!

i mean, is this just too small? even if he spends most of his time free roaming with a uvb a heat installed hanging above his tree?
My main issue right now is it seems all cabinets on facebook are usually 14" depth, which just sucks. I would be making up for it in length and hight but 14" is just small.

If i use wood, how do i get around the mold issue without going bioactive?

If you do all glass you have to have airflow strips at the bottom or you will have stagnant air with no movement. This can be hard if your converting an all glass cabinet.
yea we will incorporate the chimney affect, maybe well remove from glass entirely and replace with screen or carefully cut glass with duct tape at bottom
