    For those of you who haven't seen it, here it is during is progession. Still not done though. Need to work on the fans and watering system. This is a 48"x24"x49" front opening terrarium from www.glassgages.com.

    The day she came home

    With partial lighting and stand made by DH. It was getting morning sun due to the maple tree outside the window being asleep.

    During the summer we added supplemental lighting as the maple tree was now shading the sunroom.

    Here she is currently with her new lighting hood. It contains 7, 36wt PL-L bulbs.
