Currently have an 8x3x2 enclosure for the big guy. Mostly a galvanized steel trough with a plexi top:
Adding a top section to fit perfectly in the shed, where the current enclosure resides:
Building the top section in pieces (2 sides, front, back, and two roof pieces). Coating them with green ReptiShield.
Front Piece will be all plexi on a wood frame:
The front has a section for sliding glass windows. Going to install two 30x30 7/8 pieces of tempered safety glass on window track:
The back will be all plywood with repti-shield. I ran out of shield with about 2 sqft to go, unfortunately. Probably going to have to use regular paint:
End result should look something like this:
THinking about adding a mister setup to spray and keep humidity. This cage will be sealed and may install a vent in the bottom of the side or back of the cool side and maybe a small fan on the hot side in case of overheating.
I cut down a pine tree in my front yard (was going to do it anyway), so now I have tons of cool logs and branches (once they dry out) to use in the cage. The substrate is decomposed granite and top soil mix.
Please let me know your comments, suggestions, questions and I will keep posting my progress!
