I looked on there and I couldn’t find one on there. There also doesn’t seem to be an option to buy from them on there. I guess I could
e-mail them and see.

Why is it so much more for you then me? Just the conversion rate?

So sorry to see you break that, reminds me of the million times that happens to me working on projects.
One option that might look better and be cheaper is to just remove the glass doors, add a slide and order one sheet of glass or a acrylic sheet, if you want you can do double sliding doors. I did a custom snake tank from a tall aquarim, the front glass door slides open, love the look. My python tank is a zoom-med with custom glass lid instead of a screen for a nice top-down view and to trap humidity.
Personally, I would remove the doors and black vent strip, replace them with a nice hinge stystem, like the ones for showers and order custom glass at my local glass shop. I would say about $100-$150 cost, but would look very clean and very custom.

im not really a fan of the sliding glass doors. You end up with way smaller of an opening ,can only open one side and Can’t even open a full half because of the overlap.
why would you remove the vent strip? How would you create appropriate air flow?

I think they are ugly and block my view of my terrain scape, I've always hated mine and want to remove them from all my encousures. As for air venting, they hardly seem to do anything, a tiny fan micro fan on top would easily provide more air flow and set it to the light timmer.
Another idea is make screen doors insead of using glass. Might not look as good but air flow would be great. Either way, good luck with your project.

Well I have made lots of progress in the past couple weeks.
I got all the foam carved out and painted. I did 4 layers of paint to make sure it was sealed
1st layer of paint.

2nd layer of paint.
3rd layer of paint.
4th and final layer of paint
in the process of painting I leaned on this branch to hard and broke it off so I had to fix that.

I also added another branch. Just need a couple vines then I’m ready to move it into the reptile room and start adding plants.

lol. I don’t know either. Painting it was the worst part. The first layer of paint at least.
Well it will be awesome when you get it all done! Very worth it in the end.

very true. I def won’t be doing this style of rock wall again though (Will do a different style for the next one). Painting in all the cracks sucked lol.
