Mine was made by a friend (well, he used to be) to my specs. It's 48"x18"x18" inside dimensions. the top is screened as well as a couple on each side. The door in front opens downward and has plexiglass, but I would go with safety glass, as the plexi gets all hazy from the scratching. The bottom also has plexiglass with supports for an undertank heater. The stand is actually a part of the cage (not the greatest design) so they cannot be seperated. The finish on the outside of the cage is vegetable or mineral oil, a non-toxic finish (not a stain). You can see pics through the link of my uros in my signature.



If you're going to attempt a glass terrarium, make sure you use a 100% non-toxic silcone adhesive. I think it's the ones that are 100% silicone. I never wanted to build one of glass because I feel (strictly opinion) that the wood is less stressful, as they don't have so much area to be watching for potential threats.



Hope that helps a bit.

>>I was wondering how I can go about building a new terrarium for my mali uro. He's in a 50 long now. I was hoping to make a 75 long and have it about a 18 inches tall *he's only about 10 and half inches long*. I'd like to have the inside and outside smooth so he wouldn't be able to get hurt. If you've ever made an enclosure could you tell me how and show me pics of the finished product so I will know at least what to expect?
