What a lucky Monitor! The cage is great - hopefully others seeing a cage like yours will be motivated to provide their monitors with excellent/adequate housing. There is a clear difference in the health of your monitor and the dried out "aquarium monitors" I see alot on the forums. I am currently building my cage based on this design that you, Mike S. and Robin exposed me to through the forums.

Great video - Thanks for sharing!

I don't know if you've already put this up or not but what're the floor plans for that cage? I want to build a more "furniture" like cage to keep my monitor out in the living room and not have it look tacky.

I thought I saw a trough down in the bottom of the cage, am I right?

Yes, that is a trough. You can actually dress the outside of the trough with wood panels or lattice so that the trough is hidden. Check the link below, the construction (by Mike Stefani) of my cage is illustrated towards the bottom of the "trough caging" section of ProExotics' website.
