Computer monitor enclosure

Hi jojos. My monitor had a curve in it also. I adhered the acrylic to the inside and it still maintained the curve. I had to put weights on it to hold it in place until the silicone dried. The front screen comes off to put a T inside.
Looks pretty cool. I would be worried about the water dish. A large spider will move it and escape or possibly get a leg out and get injured. I have put dish's in with mine I thought they would never move and they end up on the other side of the cage.
oh yea! That's a good point. I think I'll look into securing it. Thanks.
After taking into consideration jr47's advice I decided to cut a rubber stopper out of an old RTV silicone mold to hold the water dish in. This fits snuggly over the cup after it's put in place. Thanks jr47
I have one Rosea that avoids any contact at all. The only Rosea I've had that holds it's legs up like a threat pose. I guess that's dehydrating.
This is what it looks like with the flash on and it mutes the low orange light.
This is sort of what it looks like seeing the soft orange glow of the light with the flash off.
Sad I have to use a cardboard box to take a picture....:?

I had a couple of people ask about the floor meeting the front. All you want to do regardless of what monitor you have is make the floor meet -tightly the front.
Here is a shot of the floor sticking out that meet the inside of the front. Note the side edges don't have silicone & peat. They slide under the tabs of the front.
When you put the front on it meets the side. In fact it slides under the tabs. It also meets the inside of the front.
floor slides under the tabs.
Other side. The paint doesn't match up, but this is a severe angle.

One of the coolest idea's I've seen for a T enclosure....
I'm curious though, does she ever do any exploring? Seems like a big drop to the bottom.... Is it possible to fill it up more with dirt? Or would that render opening it impossible without making a huge mess?

Thanks for the compliments. You should post it here when it's done.
Glad you like it. It's a 9" drop from the top. It slants down at the back end but so does the monitor taper towards the back so it's even less at the back. I made it so there wouldn't be any substrate falling out when opening. I suppose you could put more substrate in there at the risk of defeating that feature. You could not use the false floor and put a stopper strip of acrylic across the floor coming up to the bottom of the screen opening on the front. That would give you a good 3". I can't say for sure but maybe the false floor would help minimize any injuries as well as having nothing inside to fall onto.
It's set up and in place. She's in the hide.

Light won't usually be on.

Alongside more enclosures.
Guitar enclosure? +1000 pts for that man... Looks sick.
Thanks a lot!

Very nice of you to say!Most unique enclosures I've seen. Hands down.. Awesome job dude
My favorite would have to be the hollow clear acrylic toilet seat enclosure that I keep a black widow in; just to tease it
A little reminder of the good 'ole days when human bums weren't safe!
