My son and I have started building his leo a fancy new home to replace the miserable conditions she's stuck with right now. She's a fully grown leo living in a 10 gallon tank with a tri-level hide that I built about 8 months ago.
The new tank will be a custom 28" wide, 16" deep and 16" high. The picture attached shows our early layout. Under the waterfall is the humid hide with a small portion of the pool extending back into there. The entire waterfall assembly is designed to be removed in it's entirely to allow for upkeep and ease of cleaning underneath.
This coming weekend our plan is to get everything assembled and get the expanding foam laid on to make everything look right.
Eventually it will all be grouted, sealed, etc. We're using a dark brown grout and sand painting to make everything look as close to real as our limited skill allows.
More pictures will be forthcoming as each stage is completed.
