My new enclosure step by step

[kendrick silimon]

This is my gu's new home I decided to put them step by step just in case you need some guidance with your ideas it's simple and mine cost no more than 300 dollars from beginning to the end everything I used came from lowes except the decor that came from family dollar and my backyard lol. If you have any questions I'll be more than happy to help...enjoy

Don't forget the drylok.

 

[Zerrok]

nice

is the door made of acrylic?

 

[kendrick silimon]

Yes it is

 

[kendrick silimon]

Glass is alot cheaper but it's no where near thick enough to secure a tegu if it's not tempered I tried

[kendrick silimon]

Of the cage or acrylic

What kind of paint did you use on the inside of the enclosure? Did you paint over the drylok?

 

[kendrick silimon]

Yes I used a high gloss black paint that is also water resistant check your local walmart it was 8 dollars a quart and I used 2 to double coat.

 

[HPIZZLE]

Is there a specific brand to look for?

 

[kendrick silimon]

Glidden it's very cheap

 

[HPIZZLE]

One more question, did you use silicone in the corners or just the drylok and paint? I appreciate your help.

 

[kendrick silimon]

No problem ask me anything.... I did use silicone in the corners.

How big is gu also 6×3 seems a bit small I was thinking it had to be 8×4 monitor lizard rule double the length of your lizard by the length of your lizard

 

[kendrick silimon]

6x3x3 is fine if your housing one by itself

 

[kendrick silimon]

Hit the swap shop get some cheap used tools and go at it
