i have always wondered if anyone knew how to in canada, because i have never seen any for sale of someone using them. ANyone wanna guess how much it would cost to make it? the place where i found it at was selling them for 93 canadian each (after the exchange, company located in germany). well any help would be awsome.

Do you have any other pics of this enclosure? How big is it? Give me an e-mail, maybe I could make something like that for you. What is that front area for? I can't tell from the pic. The back area looks like it is just a section that is empty space but would work as an elevated land area with a river type area below. Let me know what type of size you are looking for and I can see what I can do. It doesn't look too difficult though. Just more glass to use.

The front area is for ventilation. These tanks are great for amphibians. There is an opening on the bottom front...you can't really see it from that pic. The way they work is the air goes from the bottom up, thus creating a constant air flow. I was looking on getting a few but couldn't find any resonably priced in Canada. If u can build em let me know and I'd be interested in it too.

The glass portion seems easy, but im not sure about the front, and what type of vents you would use. I thought it was just for more land space, but I think that the front view wouldn't look very nice with the glass dead space in the front. I think I would need better overall pictures to get a better idea of the cage.
