I am going to build a cage for my female retic in the next couple of weeks. I was thinking the demensions should be eight feet by 30 inches deep by 17 inches tall. The construction material would be 3/4 ply for structural integrety as well as ability to keep heat in. I am considering either tempered glass or thick acrylic or whatever for a drop down door. Heating would probably be via a CHE towards one end, and have a kitty litter box or something else with a built in drain at the other end. The substrate would be a few inches of cypress mulch. I would mount a small florescent tube fixture to the front, inside of the cage. I would like to do expanded PVC for a floor and a few inches of the wall. Also I would like to paint the inside black to show off thwe colors better.



Ok, what sounds good, and what doesn't sound good?



Thanks for your advice!
