Looks great, I'd add more plants to the back though to hide the wires and such

| The viv looks very nice, but I would make sure that every joint is sealed perfectly. Problem with melamine cages is that sooner or later water gets in the joints if you have a high humidity environment (lots of spraying). And when that happens it ruins the viv very quickly. I prefer glass for such animals. |

Thanks for the advice.
Prior to assembling, I sealed every connecting joint & then sealed again once assembled. Hopefully this will last.

I've made quite few cages like that and I can tell you from experience it didn't always go well. Hopefully you'll have better luck  |
