I have an iguana that needs a very large indoor enclosure. My idea is to TIG weld square steel tubing to make the frame. I can make the back window and the sliding windows out of polycarbonate, then use fusion360 to CAD design a sliding mechanism for the doors, which I will 3d print in nylon. I will make a water reservoir to permit for bioactive options, and to maintain the humidity. In the future, I will sculpt some naturalistic and realistic terrarium/vivarium artificial branches (for easy cleaning), and I will make some Mayan ruins out of polystyrene and Drylock. Ultimately, a raspberry pi will control the humidity, temperature, and air exchange, while spinning up a python flask internet server.
00:00 Start Here
00:38 Crappy Welding
02:00 Add Wood and Lexan
04:38 Sliding Lexan Doors
06:34 Paint it Pretty
08:12 Keep it Moist
10:21 Terrain and Automation
