I have just put the finishing touches to the perspex enclosure Ive been working on. Its made from 3mm thich perspex, dimensions are 150mm wide x 300mm height x 180mm depth.

I "glued" all the pieces together using chloroform and ran it along the joins on the inside afterwards. The bottom section is watertight now. I have made ventilation holes using a 5mm drill bit (drilled very slowly).
Last night I dropped the last of my chloroform in its glass bottle onto the kitchen tiles, dont remember much of the clean up but thats why the hinges and catch on the top are secured using small bolts and nuts.

It is earmarked for my Poecilotheria fasciata that is about 5 to 6cm at the moment. Might leave him to grow a bit more before moving him or what do you think?

Good job man. Sorry that you couldn't finish it the way you wanted because of the chloroform spill.
:sick:

@swifty, very perceptive mr swifty. Funnily enough its from a bag of rooikrans wood but it is just the bark that i put into boiling water and then scrubbed clean. Looks cool I thought because its hollow on the inside.
