Ok, this is more of a question, and it's not for fish... I posted these questions at www.reptileadvice.com but member activity there has been low and no one has responded yet... I figure there's pleanty of intelligent people here who could help me out anyway... I plan on taking an old computer monitor and turn it into a tank for snakes, frogs, or some other small creature. I removed the picture tube and all the wires and stuff so I'm ready to start... I plan on using plexiglass for the front so I can see into it but I also need to line the bottom and sides of it. Basically, once you remove the inside of a monitor you are left with some rough plastic with all sorts of crevices, grooves, and holes and stuff... so it needs to be something smooth, and easy to clean. I was thinking of just lining it with more plexiglass but wanted second opinions on that. I don't know if there are any materials out there that are either cheaper or easier to use. Cutting plexiglass to fit something perfectly isn't that hard, but it's not that fun either... So that's my first question. I also plan on cutting a hole in the side or back for a door, or the top where I will put a light... That's my next question... lighting... I'm not quite sure what type of light to use, it couldn't be anything too big... What I would like to do is mount a light on the top somewhere and have it wired so the switch that use to turn the monitor on and off would now turn the light on and off.... any thoughs or suggestions for me...? Once I get things started I'll try to post some pics of my progress if anyone is interested...
