They're finally done! I'm so excited to have these vivariums built and I CAN'T WAIT to get started on the 600! I already have most of the materials needed and should be starting any day now. Stay tuned for that build and give the video a like to help support the creation of content like this. If you have any comments about the build, let me know and I'll do my best to respond. Have a great weekend!

It's a very old school science exhibit feel and I really love it, it's got that apothecary vibe too which is a similar look. ( When I say old school referring to my old school I am not joking as I am 65 and the school I am thinking of was a Victorian building and probably hadn't changed too much since it was built!). Also, I love that you used reclaimed materials! Love it, in fact I love it so much I may just use the idea for other cupboards in my house!
