OHHHH going to get hell for that LOL...just kiddding, just kidding. I wanted to show a simple project my son and I worked on this evening...

This is a simple $15-20 pre-cut/drilled shelfing unit I picked up at Lowes or Menards. I just put two of the shelves on top and bottom, then the other two are positioned in such a way to give shadowing of the enclosure. I plan to use it to take my hatchling outside in...after a good coat of sealer.

As you can see, it also needs some hardware cloth or other similar mesh to keep the critters in and the birds out. Dimensions are 10.5 deep X 24" wide X 35" long. It is made to stand on end, but I have repositioned the shelves so I can lay it on it's back. I used a scrap piece of plywood and screwed it to the bottom.

It's hard to tell in the picture, but the front shelf is about 3" off the bottom. The lizards will be able to go under it for shade or get ontop of it to escape (or bask) :P
