If you travel often, and you don't like leaving your reptiles or amphibians at home alone, and you take them somewhere to be watched, then I am sure you know that carrying a terrarium sucks. To make a handle for your terrarium/aquarium you need two things:
1) Terrarium/Aquarium
2) PC Case carrying strap

There are a few things to note
1) Do not attempt to carry a aquarium full of water with this method.
2) I am unsure, but I believe the straps will only fit a standard 5 gallon or 10 gallon x-long aquarium.

The reason I say this is, the glass on the side of the aquarium/terrarium was not designed to hold a lot of pressure the way it would be applied by the strap. If the aquarium is full of water chances are the glass will break under the weight (assuming you can lift it). Also, If you attempt to try this on a tall aquarium, the glass is also more likely to break.

(Forgive the crappy photos, I took them with my cellphone)

I'm a teacher who owns 5 snakes and I'm constantly moving tanks from my home to school or from room to room. This will make that a lot easier! Thanks!
