I agree with "newstorm," an 8 x 4 x 4 (or larger) cage would be best for male savs.
Your phrase "I'm looking for a simple cage design, that can be built quite easly,..." can be an oxymoron. If the cage is going to be in an area with large open-door access, it could be simple. Otherwise, you've got to really plan ahead. Could be a wee bit hard to maneuver an 8 x 4 x 4 cage down a hallway and into a bedroom. That's when it needs to be built in sections.
Some people make cages by simply butting plywood together and some build cages with a frame, having interior & exterior walls.
I'm in the process of building a cage to temporarily house my 3ft female & 2 1/2ft male sav. Heh, I've been "in the process" of building the dang thing for a few weeks, now, just haven't had time to devote more than an hour or two here & there.
The cage I'm building is 6(L) x 4 1/2(H) x 4(W). It's got a bottom section, top section & face that holds the sliding glass doors for the top section. It's a "frame" design made from ripped 2 x 4s.
I think I've put too much "planning ahead" into this rascal. The cage's size & sections were all designed with "in the future" in mind. I can easily modify any section to accomodate any type of animal in the future. Either as a whole cage or just by using a single section. I did this because I keep a variety of animals, mostly snakes & monitors.
I'll take a few pics & post them later today. If for nothing else, you can use them as "What I DON'T want to do." Ha! Ha!
Definitely try to keep your cage as simple as you can.
Catch ya later!
