Thanks! I got carried away and sent you a rather lengthy DM. I think you could set up a pretty nice terrarium without animals. One disclaimer I will post here is this citation:
Anderson, C.V. (2010). Keeping Chameleons in Glass Terrariums. Chameleons! Online E-Zine, July 2010.
(The forum won't let me post the URL for some reason).
It's about chameleons, but my understanding is it applies to epiphytic orchids as well. There needs to be ventilation towards the bottom and at the top to pull air into the enclosure, or your orchids can rot and your chameleon will get a respiratory infection.
...Maybe this is common knowledge on the Orchidboard, but I don't want to accidentally spread bad husbandry info.

Thanks, I think I will do that. Andy's is also located in California, which is a benefit for me because it'll mean faster shipping (I'm in NorCal).
Are they more responsive by phone or email?
Side note: these forum rules for new members are killing me. I just spent a hot second trying to figure out that quoting your original post was blocking my response because I am not allowed to post URLs yet. But once I am... nothing but links to trojans!
(I am kidding. Probably. Hopefully).
