I'm working on some quality pictures to show. But I purchased a 8'x6'x14 shed from shed world for my Male Black-Throat. It cost a pretty penny but he is in heaven. I had to make some modifications to it but it is great. I dug a 2 foot deep trench in my backyard that measures 8' by 14'. I placed the shed over trench without the floor of the shed. (i had to remove.) I then added three feet of dirt. I had somebody install the lighta inside. I replaced the wooden door with a sliding glass door. It was a lot of money and work but it is well worth all of it. I will get pictures as soon as possible.

Somethings I forgot to mention. There are precautions you must take to insure he doesn't dig out, and also it is relatively difficult to maintain proper temperatures...but once again you have to work at it, try things. Also remember not everyone has that kind of room to work with. And I'm sure others will have an easier setup, but probably works just as well. You have to find a setup that works for you.
