So this is my first attempt at some sort of natural looking enclosure. I'm still at the foam stage. But this is it so far.

There's one hide on the left that will be the warm hide. Room for the moist hide on the right. Hopefully two on the level it's at now. And I'll have to see after that how many more I can fit.

If anyone spots anything amiss while I go along feel free to point it out :D

You had problems in the past maintaining a cool side due to the heat in your home correct? I don't remember if you had AC where the enclosures are kept? You may want to test the temperatures before you put so much more effort in the project. I believe that size tank is a little over 16 inches high which can be difficult to achieve a cool side in if the room is not less than 75 degrees. Then again you are adding areas up higher which may provide cooler temps.

I’ll definitely keep that in mind. The size is 29.5”L x 12.5”W x 18.5”H So maybe it’s a 29 gallon.
It has been quite a bit cooler air in the bedroom since we've started moving in to Autumn. We're going to be using the first one as sort of a test dummy. It'll be my first time doing it so I'm going to make it up so atleast if all else fails I'll have the technique down.

Plus I wanted to see if we could get it to be in pieces for easy take apart and clean up. We also have the slate tile for the bottom. Just waiting to get a tile cutter.

Oh, okay. I didn't want you to put your heart into it and then be disappointed and stuck with temp issues. Well, enjoy your project and hope it goes well.:)
