Hello John, I am not much on the forums but new year doing new things. I know you are not new to these and have a lot of time with monitors. Anyway I was just wondering why you epoxied the walls and not the 2x4 supports? With any of the water species I would go the extra mile. Especially with cummingi or any of the bigger animals that can easily scratch away at wet rotten wood. All of my waters transfer a tremendous amounts of their water to the substrate from all of the in and out daily. Thats a lot of moisture to allow at your supports. It looks like you may have siliconed between supports and shell? That is a good step to follow but for the little amount of epoxy I would just cover the rest of the wood.
