what are you building this cage for? what size do you want it to be? i have just built a large outdoor cage for a black throat monitor, so i can give you a hand if you have any questions. but really there arent any plans, you just need make a base, i used plywood, supported with 2x4s heavy casters on the bottom, then i made the frame of each wall with 2x4s, and framed fencing/chicken wire stuff i picked up at lowes with 1x2s. I have also gone around the bottom with a foot of plywood to hold in the dirt. Put plexy glass on the top to keep off some rain and such. and put a few layers of kilz primer on it and some paint. and it has turned out very well. if you have any more questions on the details, just ask. but basicly i just figured it out as i went and made a lot of trips to lowes.
Good Luck,
Max
