I'll probably incorporate a heat lamp for any overly cool times as we do get some rather cool nights in later fall and early spring. During the winter I plan to move it to my garage for them to burmate.

Re: Out Door Viv

Well, more to do but getting closer to a finished product. All thats left on the general construction is adding the top. Here's a photo of what it looks like now. The "glass" in the front is Lexan with a 30% tint.

Re: Out Door Viv

Wow, Sid... it's looking GREAT. I belive you may have a career touring the country and making these for all of us... you can start here. I'm a little tight on funds right now so I'll trade you in chickens, ducks, and ornery goats. And what the heck, I'll throw in an evil neighbor, too!!

Lori, from some your other post that I've read, think I'll pass on the evil neighbor. Already have one of my own.

Re: Out Door Viv

Sid, you should ALWAYS have a matched pair. Misery loving company and all that. Hey... maybe these boxes of yours have another purpose!! Can they contain nasty neighbors?? LOL

Is the bottom made of wood also??
