New terrarium

Check out my new terrarium that I completed the other day.  I have taken a picture from the front and at a side angle for your viewing enjoyment

  It measures 36" across, 11" wide and 12" tall.  Perfect for the tight area I had in mind for it.  This terrarium was specially built for my winter-growing drosera (they don't grow very tall).
building material: 3/4 inch plywood with some pine
acrylic, hinges, window bolt from lowe's
putty to seal the inside before terrarium was primered with Kilz.
4' shop light from Fred Meyer with 2 GE Chroma 50 bulbs

I used the information fromNature's Jewels to construct the ventilation system (see side picture).  This seems to help.  Currently as I type this message the ambient room temp is 75.2F and the terrarium 73.4F.

Looks perfect for the spot. Nicely done.
 
Hello,
Very nicely done. I should make something like that.....

Very nice work Homer. I like the cooling idea. Much better than buying a glass aquarium and you can make it any size you want. Good work.
