you'll be using magic, right?

Re: Yet another project

Possible change of plans. The difference in width is exactly the same as the thickness of the material I'm making the separating wall from. Why didn't I notice that earlier?

Just need a solution for times when the terrarium isn't divided.

Re: Yet another project

And I still need to solve the lighting and heating issue somehow when it's divided. I think it might be best to just let the heat lamp provide light, even if it doesn't look that great.

Re: Yet another project

Slowly making progress.. I'm about a week or so behind schedule, the corn would need to move in in a week.

Did you say the partition is removable, Stefan? Nice looking work.

Re: Yet another project

It is removable. Haven't decided yet how easy it should be to remove it (tools or no tools). But first the wood needs to be treated and it'll take a couple of weeks for it to dry enough.

Re: Yet another project




And here we go. The corn moved in just minutes ago and the other half is still empty. The wall has a small shelf and the whole thing is removable without the use of tools. Basically, it's held in position by 4 pins.

I hope to fill that second half by the end of October. There's a show coming up and reptiles are expected to be present.
