I like to house my Ts in pretty enclosures so I've been hunting for some nice ornate ones.
Found these 3 in HomeSense (UK, T.K.Maxx home store), so if you have one near you and are on the hunt for a cheap and awesome looking enclosure, go have a mooch [emoji1303]

They look nice but I hope they're not air tight. All animals need to breathe and some ventilation is obviously necessary. Drilling holes in glass is highly problematic.

The lids don't close to a tight seal and even if I put very thin buffers at the front corner to raise the lid a little for airflow, the lid is too heavy for a T to lift up. Also the front handles can be adapted into latches easily to prevent any possible squeeze-through-gap escapes.
I'll try one when my Ts are big enough to warrant it and post up the results.

I'd totally 100% do the buffers and latch. A humidity gauge's is probably a good idea even though some say it's unnecessary. It's just good to know what's happening.
