[QUOTE="AceTRetreat, post: 48017, member: 3880"] That is a nice looking T you have as your first .... I would echo what newspidermom has written ... my two big concerns would be too much vertical height and the mesh ceiling. You can if the backing is foam insert designed for that Exo-terra cut it in half (would say looks as if want half as much vertical height) and then put cardboard or get piece of thin plexiglass cut to correct size and ventilate whichever you use so air circulates through ... leave screen lid above in place. For support front side and/or middle ... take small perhaps 1/2 inch PVC and embed suction cups at each end and place firmly into place ... this should be plenty to support cardboard or thin plexi (you can set on top, weave through, or put two above and two below and slide between .... I use the PVC with suction cups with vines wrapped around it for my Gargoyle Geckos and has never let go under the weight of vines and them. This will solve your weight and top issues all at once ... of course adjust according to how much more substrate you put in ... but without adding any would cay need to cut height in half .. looks to be maybe an 18 inch height with 2 inches of substrate so bring down to about inches above substrate. Good luck and hope this works for you or gives you some other ideas how to work it ... then again you could get a lower more terrestrial habitat and then get an arboreal T for this habitat .. :-) [/QUOTE]
