Hi guys,
sometime in the near future I plan to get myself an Avic sling (possibly A. avicularia or metallica), and I was thinking about a neat enclosure. As there aren't any nice enclosures here in Germany (at least in my opinion ), I thought I'd come up with something myself.
I definitely wanted something made of plexiglas or such, not made of glass ( I don't like these glass terrariums with a trap door opening for example). So, I did some measuring and ordered plexiglas sheets and acrylic glue online and went to work.
And this is the result:
It's far from perfect (it's a prototype, remember? ), the plexiglas is too thick, very difficult to handle and to drill into, and it still needs a latch/lock of some sort, but...
... in general, would you say this design could work? Is there enough ventilation? Or too much?
This one measures 10x10x20 cm, the lower part in the front (for the substrate) is 5 cm high.
Of course there'll be a water dish, cork bark/cork tube and lots of fake plants. But I wanted to wait for what you guys think, before I start with the interior decoration.
Any input is very much appreciated!
