Help, Need Suggestions and Advice

[Xanafein]

So, I recently Acquired a Broken Glass viv, It has Severe Cracking all around, However I being the person that i am was unable to pass up potential free cageing.

Now to Improve The Cages Structural Integrity i had a few thoughts

Build an interior landscape With some form of foam or silicone, Seal it, Then give it a nice earth tone, with branches and perches sticking out of it


Tightly Wrap side and back Walls With Black Duct Tape


Any other thoughts, or suggestions based on my thoughts would be greatly appreciated, I would Love to Salvage this viv, It is the perfect size and shape for another GTP

Just replace the panels.

[Xanafein]

Its not a sliding glass Front, It has Glass Walls hence the term glass viv :P

[Gungirl]

I would trash it.. not worth the time to fix.

[KORBIN5895]

So like I said replace the broken glass.

I agree with Kat. Not worth the effort in fixing this. You could easily find another free, used one in the amount of time to fix this one.

[Xanafein]

Alrighty, that is what i figured, Just thought id ask if it was doable will start scanning craigslist for freebies

[Aaron_S]

It's doable, it's just a lot of work for something you could get easily.

[Xanafein]

I thought it would be a fun project, And since the cage was free im curious what i could make from it

[BlueButterfly]

what if you were to cut plywood to fit and glue it to the outside of the broken glass... another option.. id see if i could remove the seals, id then build a plywood enclosure and use the good glass for the door and sides if you have enough... just a suggestion... without seeing it i cant say what you could use it for...

If you're looking for a project just build your own, it's actually pretty easy and you can tailor it to your preferences.

Why don't you pop a photo up of the viv? Might help people with their ideas?

How big is it? If you are talking a 100 gallon or something like that, then it would be worth it to fix, and could be done very cheaply. If its something small, like 30 or less then I would definitely not bother. They are so cheap now that the risk doesn't make sense.

Looks to be about a 40 gallon, I think im just gonna dump it though
