I've officially decided to redo Milo's cage completely, this time- custom build. I have him in a 36" L X 18" W X 24" H glass exo terra but I screwed up and didn't think about the height, so I had to manually attach the UV hood inside the tank from the screened top. It looks just awful, so my OCD kicked in and decided it was time to completely redo it.
I drew up some plans and was wondering if you guys could suggest anything else, whether it be decorations, dimensions, material, etc.

It'll be built out of wood with a glass sliding door, and I'll be attempting the custom rocks with the Styrofoam and grout. The background and sides will be filled with "rocks" for a cliff/canyon effect. I'll also be adding a little tunnel under the basking spot so he can explore, and I'll make it to where I can lift it up so I can see inside. I want as natural as possible to make him feel at home. I'm still trying to figure out how I can place the lighting... I was wanting to like, carve the top and make a ledge to where the hood will just sit in snug and hit him directly rather than having it sit on a screen... Same with the heat lamp. Just not sure if I have the expertise to do that (this is my first time building anything to this extent...)

The pics are mainly for measurements and such, but what do you think so far?
