Well figured i'd do a step by step of my 92qt tub setup for my 3 female cresties to go in.. takign pics each step, will finish it tonight, only problem will be decorating it so it'll be pretty bare to begin with bu then will get better, onlything i hate is that bamboo, or water reed, whichever it is, id ont think is waterproof, and i had glued one piece in hope it doesn't mildew the others did but i doused in hand sanitizer and it stopped it now, so hopefully that's all it was..

How it will look after holes are done:

After holes were drilled and screened:

it broke on 2 in the front, but i got it covered and everythign seems ok for now, went with sides with 2 holes and 5 in front, nothing in back as that's how it'll face, hopefully it'll vent correctly if not i can do more 1/4" holes along the top.. but that's it for now, i'll let that dry, and trim screen when i go back tonight, then try to decorate and wash out the tub..which will be next pics.

Well here's the rest of it, with the PT in there, re-attached the "bridge" piece, and glued up the ends of the bamboo so no water will get in there (and makes it tactile against the plastic tub and doesn't move) i just use ivy taht hs wires on it and i bend it to hold on them and just drape around, when theyr'e heavier or if i notice them pulling it down i'll use suction cups but sometimes think it's more "natural" to have it kinda free hanging and not super taut...

was gonna put the food ledge in the back but i have it in the front at the moment kinda hard to decide where to put it i like to put it in high traffic areas.

i need TONS of feedback lol so let me know :D always think there's stuff missing.

I know my crestie would go crazy in there. It loves hiding in leaves and ambushing me, hehe. Looks good to me, but I'm not exactly an expert. Just have my one rage-filled crested gecko.

hopefully this will help lower humidty lol was going to cut out 2 windows , but razor is not going to cut these thick tubs, will the white/blue ones for the smaller tubs but not this thick stuff :D... just doused it pretty good as i didn't spray lastnight, so i'll go check it in a few hours and see if it's dropping i hope it is :D been having issues in my other tub with the bamboo getting a mildew/mold growing on it, i think it's cause it's not drying out fast enough, so if this works i'll be doing the same thing with blonde's tub.
