Hey there. Can't find the container thread? lol Not sure if this would classify as a container though, anyways I found this lantern on liquidation at Safeway for 4.99 (5.59) with tax, I was sooo excited =)

It's all glass and stuff.

The glass was removable and wobbly so I glue gunned it, and divided to turn the lantern top inside out, so the wholey bottom is facing inside for easier storage on my book shelf lol

Anyways here it is, nothing in it yet.

It's 7" wide and 12" tall.....I think ill go back for more :)



decorated lol

Neat! I love thrifty tank designs like this. I found a clock about this size with a glass chamber, I almost bought it but I don't want any arboreal tarantulas :v

Just a heads up:
Glass doesn't glue gun very well, you need silicone!

Haha just discovered that this morning, but since I put the soil in the glass has stayed in place yay. (the bottom i sealed metal so no leakage will occure)
I am just going to make a new plexi top for it, i dont like this metal thing.

Woo

I want to buy another one.. lol
