PTS enclosures

LCH Jun 26, 2003 10:55 AM

I'm in the process of building my first PTS cage and I was wondering if anyone had advice or pictures that could help me out. I was thinking of a wall mounted vertical cage. Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello,

If you live in S. Florida or the deep South, I can provide some very effective designs.

Sincerely,

Any ideas anyway? I was hoping to make something pretty large and accomadating, possibly wall mounted to save floor space.
Thanks

Here are two versions of a PTS enclosure- these are both plexiglass sides and front, wood back, and screen top. Both currently have mercury vapor lamps at the top for heat and UV, ceramic supplemental heat when needed, and ultrasonic humidifier hooked to a humidistat for humidity (when they work!). Periodically I resort to manual misting twice a day when the humifier goes on the fritz. They really like the vertical orientation, and really use the space for climbing up and down.
the plants are plastic
