It’s funny how this threads turned into lmao. But yea to those asking as soon as I get the frames I’ll share photos of the process. I decided to get some dowels for the corners for extra stability. As for front verses top opening. I did consider trying that out. It is possible to do if I use the dowels to allow for both top and front opening. It would make targeted feeding easier. It just depends. My baby has been pretty chill since they moved in. Very rarely bolts. And hen caught out they retreat slowly. But as that will be the first and final enclosure transfer will see how it goes. More then likely I’ll just remove their hide from their current enclosure and put the whole thing inside the new one and let them move out in their own time.

Sorry op things often get derailed on here 😆
Sounds like a well thought out set up, I look forward to pics 😊
N don't worry I like to rehouse like that if it's possible too, no point in stressing the t if you don't have too , I also find the ones I can do that with settle quickly compared to the ones I can't.
Gl op n sorry again for the hijack 😂.

I would consider adding something across the lower section of the front panel to prevent your substrate from falling out every time you open the door. Otherwise I think it's very creative and should work well once you add ventilation.

Yea that’s included in my drawn plans. The digital plans were for the actual frames assembly. I didn’t include the substrate dam yet because I am waiting to see where the plexiglass is actually gonna sit when the frames arrive. I am supper excited for them to arrive this week

I made a dam with a piece of cork bark (and padded it with moss to keep her away from it), and she uses it as her pooping corner 😂
