This is a cage I'm working on for my Black Roughneck Monitor. It's not done, but here's the progress. It's made out of plywood, and sealed with a two part apoxy for garage floors (very durable against sharp claws) and paintable caulking.
Here's how I control the lights:
I've never used light cages before, but they were pushed on me pretty hard at the shop I visited, so I thought I'd see if I liked them or not:
And here's the night light as well as UVB. I should mention that many monitor keepers have successfully bred monitors without UVB and without a photo period, but considering the limited success with breeding rudicollis, I figure there's no good reason not to experiment:
Some plants:
And of course, Edgar:
I am definitely going to do something with the back wall, but I can't decide if I want a rock wall or pieces of cork bark or what. I know I want to have some vines growing on the back wall, but I'll just have to come to a decision about what to do.
Thanks
