My Angel Island enclosure if finally done! The dimensions are 6 ft wide, 4 ft tall and 2 ft deep (each measurement is a few inches more than stated but I rounded down). The cage has a basking area with uvb on the top level and a basking area without uvb on the bottom level. It also has full spectrum lighting mounted on the ceiling for additional light. I am housing 3 chuckwallas in the cage and within a few minutes of being placed in their new cage the chucks figured out the rock shelves and found the top basking level. The rock shelves were made by Mike from Custom Ecos. The right hand side of the cage will eventually have a creosote bush in a pot for the chucks to crawl and snack on. If my seeds grow well I will have several plants that I will rotate from outdoors to the enclosure every two days so the plants don't die from lack of sunlight. I am currently in the process of making a similar cage for my granites. If you see anything that needs to be changed or advice please let me know.
