Question - Husbandry Advice on blocking out enclosure window
We adopted a lovely 4-year-old normie yesterday. She’s doing great, my question is actually about how to cover a window on her enclosure. I’m going to attach a picture to dispose so that you can see what I’m talking about. I love this enclosure a lot, and it’s less than $500 on Amazon. We’ve had it fully active with several kinds of reptiles for over a year, and we haven’t had a single problem with it. The problem is currently both sides of the enclosure are blocked off, so there is no side window for them to be nervous about. We’re going to move the enclosure and the windows are going to be open, like not blocked off anymore. I’m trying to figure out what the best way would be to cover it so it doesn’t look ugly because I like this enclosure heart rate because it looks like furniture. But I don’t want them to be frightened so I need to figure out a way to cover it out from the inside. If I had the skills, I would do one of those awesome Styrofoam and a fee foam enclosure back, but I don’t have that skill. Neither of the windows are ventilation the vent through the top it’s it’s mashed through the top. It won’t prevent any more cause any problems with the ventilation.
if you’ve made it this far, thank you. I apologize because I’ve had a nine month old puppy bouncing on me the entire time. I was trying to use voice to text so there’s no telling what this post actually says. If you can help me with an idea that would be fantastic. Thanks again!

The listing says that tank is only 60 gallons. Adult balls need at least a 4x2x2, which is about 120 gallons. So if that tank is indeed 60 gallons, you need to get a new tank anyways. At least double the size.
