I found it relaxing and thought I'd share.

Not for a beardie, but my wife and I did custom build this for her Savannah monitor, Toffee. It doubles as her standing desk. It's made from PVC board and wood sourced from someone remodeling their kitchen.
(I apologize for the image quality, iPhone to Android compression sucks)
A slightly blurry overview of the standing desk terrarium. It is L-shaped and painted a blue green with navy blue edging. Through the two plexiglass doors it is possible to see the dirt and various decorations of the terrarium. The back walls are a sky blue with agate veining through them. A slightly blurry different view of the interior showing more of the decorations. Among them are cork bark and mosses. A fake log hide is visible on the right side as is the edge of a large black water dish. Slightly blurry picture of a monitor lizard investigating his home. There are various dried leaves on the soil around him and various pieces of cork bark against the walls. Less blurry picture of Toffee the monitor lizard looking out a porthole in the side of the terrarium.

Daughter has recently been lightly obsessed with airships (taking after me) so for her birthday I 3D printed her this lamp of the R101.

At least you probably did better than this. I ran out of paper and had to use scraps to cover the ends and barely had enough to do that. I tried to disguise the shame with more bows but I don't think it worked very well.

I saw a lovely pair of black vultures while out on one of my delivery runs, which helped dispel a bit of my holiday funk.
A pair of black vultures perched atop a parking lot lamp post. There is a considerable amount of bird poo on the sides of the light boxes, indicating this to be a favorite perch.

One time I was trying to post a reaction in a group chat and the selector glitched and sent this from a different folder instead. It was already funny but that memory gets me every time.
