Bunkbed Cage

[crox]

I'm planning on building a 7x4x3 cage for my B&W tegu I'm getting from bobby. I requested a female. :app

My original plan was to build a 6x3x3 cage, but a good friend (and the guy who's gonna help me build it) had a crazy idea today. We were in my room looking for a way to move everything around to fit the cage. when we realized my bed is 6x4!!!

So he suggested i invest a little more money in the project to make the cage larger and add more support to be strong enough to have my mattress on top of my tegu cage.

It would save me a ton of space and it would allow me to give new bestfriend room to move around. I might even be able to extend it to 8 feet long. (my room's ten feet long)

So if you've made it this far my question is this : "What would it take to build a cage strong enough to rest my bed on"It has to be past the point of any doubt.

Thanks a lot everyone!

I have an much more easy way, just let the tegu sleep with you. :shock: Just kidding, :lol:

I do not know how you would do it, but I am sure it can be done.

completely fake lol, but it could be done

 

[BOOZER]

yes it could and i'm thinkn bout building 1 for my son!(actually myself! but i cant have a bunkbed!)

What i was wanting to do was just have the mattress on top of the cage. Not an actual elevated bunk bed. I guess i should have been more clear on that one.

bump-
I really need to get started on this project soon. My baby will be here in a couple days.

What i was wanting to do was just have the mattress on top of the cage. Not an actual elevated bunk bed. What would need to be done to make the cage strong enough to support that? I want it 8x4x3. My bed is 6x4

Thanks everyone.

Well my only advice would be... don't do it. At least for a tegu cage, don't do it.

If your place your mattress right on top of the cage, just think about the heat that you will be sleeping on. It'll make it pretty uncomfortable at night. Even though the lights would be off, there will still be heat from the lights. If you can get past that, then go for it.

AB had a good design for a bunkbed cage. not sure I would want sleep above my GUs lol
