yes- i have an ig that you can pick up and carry around and she wont wake up. its funny.



as for the tank- you're looking at a bit over 100 bucks probably.... and are you willing to spend that much and in a few months spend that much if not twice that again...?



I would super- save and go ahead and get a very large cage- if you have to go with a tank (ugh)- BIGGER BIGGER BIGGER!! LIKE A 100 GALLON or BIGGER BIGGER BIGGER.



I think you could make a pretty decent cage out of wood and hardware mesh- that hard mesh- not window screen- that crap is worthless....

I would go with wood- like 1x2 and 1x6.... we just used those sizes and a few others- like 2x4's and stapled the hardware mesh onto the wood and then put another piece over the staples and the sharp edge and screwed it all together.



We made several very nice looking cages with this method- we used the hardware mesh that is plastic coated- its a bit more expensive...



but to get more bang for your buck and give your little guy more room- and it will save you a lot in the long run AND get you ready to build your next huge-o cage...



good luck
