[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 185927, member: 29323"] The designs look OK, but personally, for an arboreal, I want more space above the substrate than a pyramid provides. And for a terrestrial, I still want a reasonable depth of substrate, as many are also partially Fossorial. With the round enclosure. I have an enclosure with limited top access, that makes me cautious about what I put in there. With my enclosure, I can remove the whole top to make up the enclosure & add larger pieces of bark, or a shelter. But it can still be a pain to add a cleaned water dish, or remove an uneaten cricket & I often use a syringe to add water & tweezers to remove crickets. With limited top access only, when you need to put your hand into the enclosure, you limit your visibility. I got the enclosure below with an adult GBB & once doing something in there, It got upset with me & hit my hand. I felt it happen, but saw nothing. That could easily have been a bite & I would have been unable to avoid it. So for me good access is important, be it top or side & I am not sure a round enclosure with a small access lid would encourage me to buy it. Edited to add. I also have a few enclosure which are stacked. The enclosure below for example has a couple of pots standing on it, that I keep my larger slings in. So odd shaped enclosures are not good for me.
