Although this is a dart frog forum, I have decided to document the construction of my upcoming Uroplatus vivarium on Dendroboard.
This vivarium will be housing 1.1 Uroplatus Sikorae Sikorae, which are medium sized leaf tail geckos from Madagascar. Being an arboreal species, I decided to use an 18 x 20 x 24 hexagonal aquarium, which will contain a large buttress centerpiece.
I purchased the tank for 45$ on Kijiji, but decided to scrap the custom made wood lid and had acrylic cut to size, which I then drilled to provide ventilation and avoid condensation on the glass. I then attached two handles, to facilitate the removal of the lid as well as 6 metal supports.
Here are some pictures of my current progress:
