Terrarium Stand

[Blueducki]

I have the 2x2x4 Zen Habitat Terrarium and I'm having a hard time finding a stand for it.
I can't find anything 2 feet deep that isn't a table. I'd prefer to have storage underneath to keep supplies, rather than a big open space.
I've searched Amazon, local furniture/habitat/goodwill stores - nothing is deep enough!
I'll probably resort to making one myself, but wanted to see if anyone had any input or suggestions. Thanks!

Zen also sells a stand for their tank. Its also 4x2x2 and costs $249 and matches the tank perfectly.

When I ordered my tank, I also ordered the stand and 2 of the deluxe stacking spacers. My stand arrived damaged and replacement parts will arrive tomorrow but the rest arrive perfect.

The stand matches the deluxe stacking spacers but is 2 feet tall.

And yes I'm aware that my decor is very drab. Needs some liveliness but that will come when the 2nd stimulus check hits in a few weeks. I'm doing a full 3d backdrop on the 3 back walls and a 3d landscape for him to climb on. Very similar to this. I will also be cutting out a "porthole" on the right side wall next to a basking platform for him to look through because believe it or not, this dude loves cartoons!


I'm also setting up a self sustained humidity and temperature controlled environment using a small fan and a deep heat projector connected to dedicated temperature and humidity controllers. The DHP will come on when basking spot temperature drops below pre-set temp and fan will kick on when humidity rises above preset amount. I may even get two of the deep heat projectors so I can have one on at night instead of the ceramic heater. We'll see.

I will post another picture tomorrow once I have my new tank stand assembled and attached to the tank for you to see.

Used furniture stores sell dressers w/ drawers I picked one up for $40 for my 4x2x2 and it works great for keeping supplies - you can also try craigslist FB marketplace

Yeah, I'm between getting that and building my own. Costs really get adding up when you throw that unit in too, though.

Totally feel you there. The 4 piece tank i for was $900 after a 5% discount. Throw in the tile, the UVB, heating/lighting and decor

Let's not forget all the money I'm about to blow on all the new heating, fans, temperature and humidity controllers and the interior decor.

This dude costs more than my kids!

Oh my

Oh my

Yeah although my humidity concerns have been more or less quashed for now. Just installed a new Zoo Med digital probe thermometer / hygrometer combo and my humidity is nowhere near where the stick on said it was. About 20% lower in fact.

Sorry but I will not be able to post the picture i promised until sometime Saturday.

My replacement cabinet stand panels were supposed to be delivered yesterday. They were delayed to today and now they're delayed until Saturday.

Shipping has been a nightmare lately, especially if it's through USPS. But I've had delays with everything the past month. Looking forward to it when you do get it, though!

Sorry about the picture quality. The sun is coming in making it all glared.

I also swapped out a side panel with clear plastic so he can see his TV...

Sorry I don't have a pic on me, not at home atm, but I just put mine on a large dresser. You could maybe find one at a used store or Craigslist or whatever you have there (in Canada its kijiji lol)

I ended up making one myself. It’s not stylish but it was cheap and you only see the legs of it anyway since the enclosure fits perfectly on top.
