Varanus cummingi

The wood is going to be sealed with epoxy, still not 100% sure which I will use. I may also put down FRP or Tile Board as well. The base is almost completed and then I will get into the rest of the enclosure. The substrate will be 2ft depth, more towards the rear of the enclosure. I still have to reinforce the walls to handle the weight. I'd like to use mainly leaf litter. I have already begun getting leaves together to dump into this monster. Due to it's size I will likely need to use some "fill" as well. I intend to keep dumping leaves into the enclosure untill It's at a level my animals are happy with...going to take a ton of leaves!

This is my first big build. Already I wish I could go back and change a few things. One more of these may follow and then I will be out of room.
