I dont have a functioning digital camera right now, but my enclosure is VERY simple.

First let me say hat my friend Ron, bred some AWESOME angle island chucks this last year and tis is how he had me make mine for the 3 I got from him.



It is a melamine box 6 ft by 30 inches,and 18 inches tall. I have a 4 ft double shop light above it and a clamp on light with a 150 watt plain old light bulb above the basking area. They are on newspaper and on the newspaper I have several ceramic tiles. at one end, under the basking lamp, there are 4 stacks of 8" tile and 2 12" tiles on top of those. This makes their cave/hide spot. On top of the hide i have a few large rocks, again directly under the basking lamp......thats it . Very simple, but I can also keep it really clean as these guys like to poop...alot. Mine are doing very well though. Keep in mind this is how the breeder told me to set them up. It is pretty much the same way he keeps the babies set up until he places them in their outdoor pens or sells them. The only difference is that he uses brown indoor/outdoor carpet ( dont use green THEY WILL TRY TO EAT IT) and I dont cause it is a pain to wash every 2 days or so.

Hope this helps
