Cage Complete

[ColdThirst]

this is what I did in my Grandpas' Shop today. God thing there was a lumber store nearby b/c I grossly under planned how much lumber I needed and also how much lumber costs, anyway all I have to do now is get the doors made, paint, and install the lights and Ill be done! Its 8'x27"x30" with room for a foot of substrate to be put in it. I think a Tegu would love it.




The enclosure below it is gonna be for my Boa when he gets older.

This is the progress of today. And now the tally is to $297.00



This is the final painting, Still touchups to do.



And now installed the 2 florescent light fixtures with a 300w halogen flood and 2 switches on the end. The tallys up to $387.00


Those are the two plexiglass doors in front of it that are going on in a day or two.


Now with the doors on, and with the two 10.0 Reptisun bulbs the tallys to $436.00



This is a video of it finally done! All or only $497.00

Lookin' good. That's going to be a little narrow for a possibly 4 foot long lizard. I built mine in (2) pieces (top & bottom) in the garage, moved them into the room and finished them.

So far so good, what do you plan on using to protect the bottom of the cage from excess moisture?

nice job! ouch on the price but that seems fairly average. I know for my tegu pen coming up, I am just going to buy a stock tank because I think if I ask my husband to build one more thin on this time off I won't have a husband anymore. ha ha

I love how yours turned out there... good job
