Id like to see some pics of the caging you used for your salvadorii. I built a cage out of wood in 01 I knew I was going to have to rebuild it someday do to moisture damage but I had a ton of free wood given to me by a fried. Any way I have to build a large waterproof enclosure any Ideas. Thanks Ian

Thats funny, I housed my Salvadorii in a spare walk in closet.
I took a skill saw and cut a square out of the door and added plexiglass...that was it!
You could basicly do the same thing, frame out a large "room" (enclosure)with 2by4's, use plywood on the inside and glue FRP sheets over the plywood. This will prevent the wood from rotting. Install your electrical equipment, cage decor and subsrtate.
There are others here who may be able to give you better details! Go to the archives and do a search for other ideas!

Good Luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Bob and Sherry are great people!
If Bob said they came from me, they did!
I did not keep them long enough to get any eggs.
Do you live in IL?

I live in just west of indianapolis. Do you ever get over to the indy show. Not the best place for monitor guys.

I don't go to many shows anymore, I used to go snake hunting across the road from that nudist camp in Porter county.
The name escapes me at the moment.
