indoor reptile enclosure, for the curious
A one-off (probably) effort of a year and a half ago, hopefully never to be repeated by me (it exhausted me).
Internal dimensions are 2.4 metres x 2.4 m x 1.2 m, but with all of the trimmings it goes floor to ceiling (just short of the 2.75m ceiling). A mock rock cliff built into the entire back wall adds to the climbable surface area to make up for the lack of depth.
All electrical appliances (on/off switches, timers for the basking lights, mercury vapour plant lights and flourescent lights, as well as 'kill switch' thermostats to turn off all heat sources on a hot day and dimming thermostat to control ceramic heat emitters for spring and autumn) can be accessed via a drawer at the front, on the bottom. The whole thing is on wheels (with brakes) that can support half a tonne of weight, but they are covered from outside by painted wood panelling similar to the outside of the enclosure.
There is an internal divider made up of three parts (wood above and below, glass in the middle) and is removable. All of the glass (front and side panels, as well as the partition) is 6.3mm laminated. Access is via the sliding front panels, which have aluminium frames and glide on bearings.
At the time this photo was taken the plants I had in there were native Cordyline sp, but I've since started using big, tough, Lomandra grasses which I rotate with ones kept healthy outdoors.
The enclosure currently houses three monitors. Two are visible in the photo, the one on the right was around 1.5 metres when this photo was taken.

wouldn't have a clue on the price, for I hate to keep tabs on the costs of hobbies. Takes all of the fun out of them.
Here are pics of a couple of animals, though.

not available in Canada, I don't think, unless you convince Steeve B to part with his  Shouldn't be too hard, he doesn't seem overly impressed with them.
