Thank you for your feedback! I'm concerned that the glass will shatter, but I do have some small dremel bits I could try. The glass in the lantern is actually flat panels, with metal structures the panels fit into. I really need to upload my pics, lol.
Please note it isn't easy. You will have to tape where you are going to drill to help avoid shattering, if I can I'll find a few good videos after I'm out of work!
The only way I know that you could successfully drill through glass is with a Carbide glass/tile drill bit that you can find at Home Depot. The biggest issue you’ll have is getting the initial hole started.I'm planning on making a few little enclosures out of lanterns, but I would like to go much bigger from there. I will post the lanterns I'm working with later, when I get off work today!I am struggling with increasing the ventilation in them, since the walls are glass panels. I was thinking about removing some of the glass panels and putting in plexiglass with drilled holes. Do you guys know of a way to make air vents in glass? What do y'all think? <3
I didn’t do any additional ventilation for the time being, but it seems decently well vented for now.
Nice old fashioned wardian case style terrarium!I did it guys
That looks great!!I did it guys
Wow! That enclosure is seriously cool! You could sell those.I did it guys
But I do looove making terrariums. I really appreciate your support, folks!
Have you decided what you want to put in it??Thanks so much! I just found that lantern thing at a yard sale, it's really not much work on my part, haha.
Ah! Good question. Sooo. If you look closely on the photo I posted, there's a juvie A. avic sitting on the cork bark. I impulsively bought her at my local (small, non-chain) pet store yesterday and popped her right in the new enclosure.
I have been trying not to get a big collection, honestly, but it's impossible not to keep adopting them.
