How do I make a lid for vivarium?
Posted: Mon Sep 18, 2017 2:26 pm
Hi, I have this acryllic made box that I am making into a vivarium, The plants will be moved and others added so dont mind those.
The question I have is; How do I create the maximum safe lid? Or is it safe enough to put barrier on the side? I will have lasium umbratus plus maybie formica.... Cant remember the name XD A black tiny formica, ye...... I was thinking on making a lid with a big hole in the middle and applie barrier on the under side of the lid, (the sides of it) To create an even tougher barrier, one that you have to climp upside down to escape. But how do I do that? Just use an acryllic piace and cut it out? Or do you know some better ways?
The other problem I have with this is that the long side and the short side is not the same height.... like 2mm differance, the long sides are shorter, how can I solve that? Cause even if I place a whole covering lid on there, there will be a gap between the lid and the long sides? Maybie do I use silicone layer all around the edge so it becomes (almost) totally flat? Or can you give other suggestions?
Thanks for your help!
