I guess I am at a disadvantage. I use to consult and build large cat and bear enclosures, gorrillas too. Whats weird was, I am a reptile guy and they have me building those dang things cages.
Heres the deal, when consulting, they would tell us that we could not put any plants or medium limbs or logs and boulders and such in the cages. There reasoning was, when they kept them in small prison cells(type cages) these animals would destroy everything put in the cages. In fact they would tell us these animals would harm themselves with this natural stuff. If these animals had access to sticks, they would poke their eyes out and stick them up their bums and all such things.
Heres the kicker, they would in those small "horrible" cages.
But thats not what we were designing. When given a large cage with stuff for them to do, they did not stick everything up their bums and in their eyes. In fact, they did not destroy everything in the cage.
Which leads to you, a medium to large monitor does not have enough space in a six foot cage to do anything. Its friggin too small. So IF your monitor is healthy, it WILL tear the whole cage up. The reason is simple. What else do you expect it to do? It cannot go down a hole and rest, it cannot climb a tree and find a hollow limb or hollow area in the trunk. So whats it to do?
I have to wonder what your thinking. What are you expecting? What are your goals for that monitor. Or it is just a TV screen? Cheers
