New Enclosure and New Bed

[rmzsuzuki89]

Well I figured while Apophis is hibernating I would start on his/her new cage. As I was measuring things out, I realized that I was gonna loose about a quarter of my floorspace. Between my bed and the tegu cage, tv, desk, speakers, and such, I was looking at only about half of my room being walk-on-able floor. Then I had a bit of an idea.....On to the pictures.

That's all I got done today, well with the help of my gf and dad. The bed part will be finished up pretty quickly, but the enclosure part may be drawn out over a few weeks because Apophis is in hibernation, so there's no real hurry.

I had a friend that did something like this for his tegu, it seemed to have worked great for him. Keep us updated with pictures as you finish it!

Ya, I'm hoping to get back to working on it tomorrow. I'm hoping to get the bed portion finished up maybe this week, and work on the enclosure portion little by little. We'll see how that goes lol.

Decided to take a couple pics of his "baby enclosure" inside of what will be his new enclosure. The tank is a 30 gallon long.

Mine is a queen too. And I'm either gonna build a ladder, or just use a boat ladder, just haven't gotten that far yet lol.

Fold up steps ???

yeah i considered a ladder, but i got knee problems so a 3 foot high bed is already gonna be a trip, lol so i figure go the extra mile with the steps and then if i can do em right he can even use them as a hide. yours really does look good so far tho, cant wait to see the finished product. what is it like 8x4x3?
