Need ideas for creating a custom lid for a 20x10 10 gallon tank.

Preferably it would have a latch that I can lock so kids can't get into it. I thought about just buying one of the zilla critter cages, but I have several 10 gallon tanks, so I thought it would be better to find a way to use one I already have instead.

Any ideas? Pictures would help as I understand and learn a little better with visual aides.

I setup this 10 gallon terrarium for my Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (Green Bottle Blue).

On the left side you can see a dirt hide I created with a balloon and Great Stuff sealant.

Hide on the right side is just a hollow cork bark.

I had to have a way to secure the enclosure and after trying cage clips I settled on using velcro.

Your cage setup looks amazing. Where did you get the fake plants and is that cork bark? Sorry I just have never been able to find cage decorations that look that nice before...at least not in my LPSs

Thank you for the kind words. I bought the cork bark at Petco and the fake plants at Hobby Lobby.

If you checkout the "Enclosure/Terrarium Pictures" thread you will find a lot of inspiring ideas.

This tank looks great. I used paper towel cardboard rolls wrapped in wax paper to create a scorpion cave. I'm stealing the balloon idea. How did you get the GS to not stick?
