put in thermostat and light, again hot glued any cracks or holes. I also wired shut the door for the light cage leaving all the sharp bits in the cage so safe for snaky

couldent sit the perspex flush because the shelf sticks out so added 25x25 angle top and bottom all the srews and sharp edges covered with hot glue (I regret using perpex all the extra bolts and seals I had to use because it flex's such a pain. I plan to replace with glass and reuse the perspex as a screw in pannel not as a hinged door when I drop the unit another level)

I used piano hing and 3/16 bolts with butterflys and strips of rubber weather seal its a pain to open close but at least I know its secure.
I need to add some things still, I have plans to build a rock wall at the back and am looking for just the right sandstone to put under his heat light.
feel free to add any sugestions its still a work in progress.
