Just when I finally had my 50 breeder set up the way I liked it, a new opportunity came along. My parents were getting rid of this display cabinet that my mother used to keep her porcelain dolls in, and I saw potential. They gave it to me, I cleaned it up, and grabbed my supplies. All three levels are attached to each other with foam ramps made from my styrofoam rock wall in the old tank. The top level has a heated cave, and under the magnet hide is a UTH sandwiched between slate tiles. The waterfall is set to slow trickle and they all go to it for water, and the large rock outcrops in the bottom right has a large UTH under it. The lamp is a small 25W that puts out just enough to see and only lights the top layer significantly. Of note, I like this setup because my Giant male can't seem to get off the bottom level. I want the females to be able to get away from him, and because of neglect when my father had him, he has no claws. He can't climb the ramps, but "his" level has water, food, warm/cool hides, and pretty much everything else a leo needs anyway. The girls can climb up to a big egg laying humid hide, a few caves, and the waterfall on the 2nd level, and the top warm layer without him bugging them. Right now I have 1.7 in there with a MSB female SS gift in the near future. Tell me what you think!

Just a heads up i would have removed the mirrors due to if you have any males that would be going in there they may freak out cause of seeing their own reflection and think there is another male in the enclosure. Other wise freaking awesome.

Wooooow...I want!!! My only concern would be escapists when the doors are open since all three levels would be open at the same time. Oh...and I agree about the mirrors, but other than that...rad!!!

I was worried about the mirrors, but they don't seem to react to their reflections. I don't know if it's because they can't smell it or what, but they don't spook looking at the mirror like they do when another one walks by them.
