...Ok sometimes ya just cant get away from the regular life...so whaddya do...mebbe bring the "field" home 
Heres a 140 sq' (6800 gal!) vivaria I built in my backyard..probably de-valued my property by 50%!
Its completely enclosed to keep the f%$#-ing cats out of it. I installed a sliding window for easier viewing... I built subterreanean shelters for thermo-regulation / brumation. W/ heatpads I could [& probably should] keep monitors in it.
I've maintained & bred all sorts of desert herps in it over the 15+ years, that Ive had it.
A little bit busy...for sure....
One sunny late winter AM...& look whos thermoregulating under the caprock...
I have a 9 X 9 foot enclosure. I have mine planted pretty well, and figure I'll just tell prospective buyers I plant tomatoes in there LOL. I never imagined what people would think when I try to sell the house, but I just bought a new house and need to sell. I will miss this lizard pen. I don't overwinter my animals in here, but they do stay out from May until Sept here in Central Illinois. I haven't had to keep any cats out either. This year I have kept one large screen lid over the center, to keep out potential raptors. I like the looks of yours alot. The house I am going to has a lot of raccoons, so the secure like will probably be a must!
