Recycled box for 1"+ Ling !

[Jetzie]

After finishing my box of ferrera rochcer... decided to use the clear box and convert it into a terrerium for my b.albopilosum ling!
he is 1 inch big so will fit in the box perfectly!
another cheaper way instead of buying tanks.

using a soldering pin, i cut a hole on the cover and replaced it with wiremeshing.
got another extra small ceramic pot. i hotglued some dried moss and spahgnum moss onto it, giving it a natural look (ceramic looks out of place in a "jungle" right?) and also the moss can keep the humidity in when wet.

here is the pic.

after that, after putting everything in place... added peat moss and soil.. this is my final result!@

everything's still in the process of airing out the fumes frm the glue.
will post pic after my curly moves into her new home!

Awesome idea! My hubby loves those, I'll have to save the next box! I like the natural look of the moss, very nice! How did you attach the screen to the lid? Glue?

Ours hasnt got any coconut in it i dont think but anyways yeah its some sexy balls of chocolate. The obligutory present @ christmas etc

 

[Sandra]

Geez, great idea! Looks fab.

Heh, an excuse for me to buy more chocolate! :}

 

[Sheri]

No coconuts here either.

Wendy, you don't have your chocolate balls mixed up, do ya?

 

[shogun804]

excellent idea. great set up :clap: :worship:

 

[Sandra]

Yeah here (Canada) FR have no coconut. I'd say it's like, a hazelnut in the centre rolled around in a chocolatey/rice krispy type concoction, then the whole thing dipped in chocolate. Very yummy, imo!

 

[galeogirl]

Good idea! I have one of those boxes left over from the holidays that I kept figuring I'd find some use for it.

Nice pics!

This is the best excuse I've ever seen to buy more chocolate

 

[Bloodletting]

Are they expensive chocolates?? Would it be better to buy a Hersheys bar and a Kritter Keeper?
