Since I saw @Dovey's beautiful lantern enclosures, I was looking for a suitable lantern myself. A few days ago I found a reasonable cheap and IMO beautiful lantern, that could work.
But the first and most important question right now is:
Would be the size of it appropiate for an adult A. merianae?
Without the ornamental part at the top, it measures approx. 6,5"x 6,5"x 12".
I'm planning to replace the glass walls (except maybe the one at the front) with acrylic sheets, so I can drill loads of ventilation holes in it. I would also put a cover sheet (with some more holes) on the top to separate the ornamental part from the rest of the enclosure. Just to be sure there's no danger of her getting her feet stuck in there.
I'm still at the very early planning stage, and I also have loads of time on my hands, because she (or he ) is still a 1,5" sling/juvie. I just wanted to make sure that all the planning won't be for naught if this isn't the right size as a final enclosure.
So, what do you think? @Dovey @CEC @all?
