How to convert or build a reptile room.

TomP Sep 17, 2003 10:44 AM

I have a juvy nile housed in a custom built 6x3x2 encloser. When his is full grown I'd like to build a reptil room or wall sized encloser for him. Can anyone give me some ideas or links to go too. I want to provide proper lighting and heating. Designs plans would be welcomed.

Hmm, I would think that what you have now sounds good no? I dont really know how big Nile's get but my Sav is going to be moved into a 6x3x3 this weekend. I know a monitors enclosure should be two times longer than a monitor and about the width should be the same size of the length of the monitor.

convert a walk in closet or a large bathroom for him, large bathroom would be better. thinks about the large bathtub that u could have, easy water changes. if you want him to have the whole large bathroom and if theres carpet in it, rip it out
or it get stinky nasty

just athought hopethis hlps some
