Nice cage... don't ever call me to help you move it, LOL.

Do you have three sliding door panels or only two? How big is each panel? Are they sliding okay?

heheh that cage weight over 750 lbs ....so if i ever moove from here, i will need to take a hammer and break down the ciment. the glass are 3 pieces around 30x32 inches. They slide well, the edged are all polished and i put a bit of armor all on the tracks. they are 5mm instead of 6 mm wich help a lot

Bob, your DIY really helped a lot! this was the first time i ever worked with cement, but surely not the last! Still a lot of things to learn ( i ordered the book suggested on your site ) but now i feel like turning my whole reptile room into a giant reptile cave....lol

I am not finding the DIY on that site. What is the name of the book that you purchased?

davejobe Feb 22, 2006 11:59 AM

I found it...what great information. The people that do these showcase enclosures and exhibits are true artists!

That's an awesome cage, I really like it. I need to find out a little bit more about that Faux rock stuff...that's pretty sweet!
