The scarier thing is its hardy to zone 9A. The climate up there is that warm (possibly a very warm 8B)

I had no idea they were that cold tolerant. Doesn't do me much good, but interesting.

Tiles...nope.
You must've been dreaming of one of your enclosures...
MDF (now ready to fall apart after 2 winters), with green paint slapped on haphazardly.
but no tiles.
