P. metallica setup

Pretty sure its good to go...pointers welcome.
I'd replace the top screen with Plexiglas then drill hole in it for the right amount of ventilation. Other than that it looks great. :)
 
@Kevin0610 I bought a small piece of plexiglass and had the store cut it for me. Drilled some holes in it.

The enclosure I have (that is like your's) has the turn locking clips on top to hold the screen in place. I took out the screen and locked the Plexiglas in place with the clips. That way you can convert it back later if you need it for something else.
 
@Trenor
Question, I have Exo terras for my arboreals but haven't gone around to put plexiglass in yet, with that technique will the plexiglass still warp and if so damage the turning locks; Have you ever had any problems this way?
 
The Exo-tera I have has a pretty deep lip on it so even with Plexiglas (which if i recall right is 1/4 inch) I still had to place a piece of trimmed cardboard underneath the both latches to make good contact. It has some give for should the Plexiglas try to warp. Though 1/4 inch Plexiglas at that size is not likely to warp much IMO.
