Ok so id like to build my a unit for my dragons. I have 3 and id like the measuements to be 4x2x2. i plan on stacking them on top of each other and using sliding doors for access. Based on some helpful posts from all of you i also have some creative ways of adding ventilation. Im just trying to figure out what materials i will need. Im gonna use melamine wood can i pick that up from a lowes?...Can some1 just give me a rundown of some supplies ill need to get this thing together i dont want to forget anything?
Thanks in advance

Sorry one last question....How much does melamine run for?

This link has some great info on cage building that I found very useful. Hope this helps.

I am building the exact cage you are talking about as i type. You will need a drill to predrill your screw holes for the melamine, vents, heat lamps, plastic track for the glass doors, glass doors, silacone, and 1 5/8 " drywall screws.
I got all my melamine from home depot for $47 The whole setup when complete will cost around $90.
Here is a pic i got from dachiu's web site that i am basing my cages off of.

How are you going about the ventilation aspect i couldnt get a good feel from the picture about how it is set up there?
thanks

I cut an 8" x 4" whole in the top back and got 2 floor vents from home depot and screwed them inside and out. I will post pics tomorrow.
