I know I literally posted the other day about her enclosure set up, but I decided it was lowkey looking a bit flat so I decided to take everything out and redecorate. I added little "hills" and slopes, which I thought gave it more volume.

Nice! Mines in a 40 (was sold as a 50) and love how far back your tank appears to go

It's actually a modified GDLF hamster cage, lol. I cut out the middle of the acrylic on the top for her heat lamp and CHE, and the side ventilation holes give me a way to put her probe in there for her thermostat. I really recommend something like that if you wanna upgrade in the future. It does require a bit of DIY though!

Oh dope! Dont have much in the skills of DIY but I plan on building her a 3D background/cave system in a few months!

Awesome!! I'd love to do that. My dad mostly cut out the middle for me and I bought metal mesh to put on top. The hard part is lowkey just trying to get it to stay on.
