I like what you did with that bookcase. Can you post the materials list and how much everything was? It looks like a really good display cage.

Did you mount UTHs under each shelf, or are you using another method? They look very nice!

im using heat tape hooked into a thermostate to heat them. it was very easy to make and took a grand total of about an hour to do. like i said before all it is a bookcase from walmart, 20 bucks. what i did was i took a small strip of wood and attatched it to the bottom and top of each shelf so the doors would have somthing to butt up against too. then i just went to lowes and had them cut me plexi glass to fit in there, this was the most expensive thing, like 25 bucks. after that all i had to do was take some larger strips of wood and attach them to the outside of the bookcase so the doors couldnt pop out. and thats basically it. theres a pic of how the doors slide
