DIY exo terra tank idea?

[shadowdragon619]

so....i dont really have the money to spend for an exo terra tank or something like it. (becuase i can buy two or three tanks compared to only one exo terra)

so i was thinking....and wondering if someone might have done the same....

i have my crested and gargoyle tanks standing up on the sides to make them taller. i could glue or silicone a piece of plexiglass or something like it, on the bottom so i could have that "bottom" of the tank for dirt and substrate.

has anyone done something like this?
do you think it would work?

i would continue using screen covers with the screen clips to keep the critters in of course

many upon many people have done this. There are some people who go so far as to make a custom door. Here is how you make your own

This company makes them for you, they can make them in any size, this is just what they keep in stock

Aquarium based vertical conversions are very popular in the dart frog community, most are built with the Junglebox kit or a DIY version in the same style.
