New table for my russian

[doc_hobo]

I am going to build a new table for my russian soon and wanted to what everyone thought about an L shaped table. The max space i have for one right now is 2 x3 1/2 for the long side and 2 x 2 1/2 for the short side. Until i finish getting my BSN im stuck in this small house and will make a bigger better one then. i wanted to make the front side glass so i can still look in. I love watching him eat and walk around. He is only about 3in right now. Im also not sure how to make the front window any suggestions?

A small pc of plexi and silicone it in. I bought small windows from a re sell place for mine. You may want to concider a second story too.

i was thing about a second story but im not committed to the idea. with the window would i need to cut a grove to set in or just flat against it?

"L" shape is a great style to use, it gives loads of space without taking up too much, plus it means you can put obstacles/ornaments/ food etc in different places from time to time to keep your tort interested. I built a 6'x4' on my floor, and we have it along the back wall. It means we still have plenty floor space...plus you can always add a second level for a hide! Good luck!

I will be lexan for my front window, because it is a little more clear than plexi I'll be cutting the whole front wall in half, then installing the window, and using wood glue to seal them back up! That sounds nice.... hope it comes out great
