DIY Grow Tent Enclosure Conversion for Boa!

so this was my first big build and it's also my first youtube video! didn't see many other videos showing this process and had to figure some stuff out for myself, so figured i would share the process in hopes that it might be helpful to you!

the main differences between this build and the usual grow tent conversions are the tent screen for exterior heat/light and not using a frame from the substrate liner

this is an 80" x 60" x 60" melon farms grow tent turned on its side

always here for questions about the build! the next video will show the process of landscaping the inside and building the basking area to make sure that there is adequate uvb access

will also be doing an enclosure upgrade for my ball python and leopard gecko in the next few months, and another grow tent conversion for my halmahera blue tongue skink! like and subscribe to follow along for that journey, and please leave comments with any feedback for how my videos or husbandry could improve as i'm always looking to learn and grow!
