Personal project I’m doing to upgrade my geckos. My husband and I make the doors using PVC acrylic saws screen and rivets for the hinges. The screen is hot glued in and I make sure there’s absolutely no sharp edges. We can cut doors for most tank sizes and are commonly making 10’s 20’s and 29’s. If anyone has tanks laying around and wants to turn them into front openers feel free to message me. With the door install I can add a custom background. these are just reusing commercial backgrounds but I do several options with coco fiber , peat moss, other mosses and can mount cork tubes or flats or planters. supply costs will be factored in but I can also us any provided materials to keep the cost down and help other people find suitable uses for tank that may be collecting dust. We can talk about lighting and heat requirements as well , I personally have mounted grow light led strips inside the tanks previously and will be doing further UV penetrating testing to ensure the best possible habitat for your friends. Arboreal geckos and tarantulas really appreciate the extra space. Installing a door on your existing 20 gallons can convert them into wonderful enclosures for New Caledonian geckos but will not cost you hundreds of dollars for name brand front opening enclosures. The screened area provides ventilation but the glass top aids in humidity for tropical friends. these are great for bioactive setups and we carry drainage layer and substrate al carte as well as an assortment of isopods if you need any assistance in materials for your bioactive build. Let me know if I can help you convert any 10’s 20’s or 29’s into something you and your pet will both enjoy! (Turn around time will be dependent on tank dimensions and gassing off time for backgrounds, some door sizes I may already have on hand and if you are interested let me know what size tank and I can try to have doors made in advance for quicker completion time)
