These are not finished and won't be anytime soon. I still need the doors cut and haven't decided on a material yet. The first pic is an 18" cube which will be used to house a pair of crested geckos. I ordered two sheets of black HIS cut to make two 36x18x12 colubrid cages (still working on those) and two 18" cubes, one for crested geckos and one for a juvi chondro.
The 18" cubes will have sliding doors but I have not decided on either polycarbonate or glass. Acrylic just won't hold up to the humidity. Polycarb also warps but not as much in my experience.
I also had one sheet of white 12mm PVCx (Celtec) cut to make a small hatchling rack. I try to make the most use out of a full sheet so I had them cut the left over scrap to make a cage for my son's gecko (my previous attempt using 1/8" HIS did not go well).
 
This cage will have a 1/4" polycarb door that will swing down. Because my son will not sleep without a night light, I also added a "moon light" to serve this purpose.
I started working on the colubrid cages but once I pick up my tubs tomorrow, I need to focus what little free time I have on the hatchling rack. Will post pics of the colubrid cages once they are finished.
