In this video I decide to transform an IKEA FABRIKÖR Cabinet into a reptile enclosure! You can also use this video for IKEA Greenhouse upgrades, or IKEA Cabinet Terrariums!
In this video, I'll guide you step-by-step through the process of converting a simple IKEA cabinet into a lush vivarium, perfect for housing my Giant Day Gecko, Reptar. From selecting the right materials to designing a functional yet aesthetically pleasing environment, you can see the entire process here!
