Okay, I would like to build custom cages for my reptiles. I have never attempted to build custom yet so I have some questions/need suggestions.



First off, these are the animals I will be needing to build custom cages for:

0.0.1 Mali Uromastyx

1.2 Bearded Dragons

0.1 Blue Tongue skink(20"-30" approx. full size,T. gigas evanescens)



My male beardie needs a new cage as soon as possible b/c he is almost to adult size. Rest of the herps are still pretty young.



I would like them stackable so I am thinking I would want to make all their habitats the same size. lxhxw= 4'x2'x2' is what seem to come up as acceptable for all(do you agree?? please let me know either way!). I would rather keep the beardies seperated b/c I don't want to breed them.



The more I look at ways to build the more confused I get(I haven't built anything before w/o having instructions handy!) I was thinking of just going to animal plastic or similar site and just ordering stackable cages(seems easier but wouldn't be as rewarding to me.)



Does anyone have any design plans/suggestions for me? I need to know what tools I need, what materials that would work best, etc . . ..



hopefully I don't come off as an idiot.
