This is really helpful. I'm getting ready to build 4 8-10 enclosures for 2 retics and 2 burms.

I used "laminated panel board." Panel board is very commonly used as the back of a bookshelf, desk, entertainment center, etc. It is only a 1/4" thick and very lightweight. I used a 'laminated' panel board that incorporates a water resistant coating on one surface. I purchased it for about $20 for a 4x8 sheet.

I followed the instructions no problem except I made a time-out box and put my kid in there.

OMG this will be perfect. Thank you!! I will be adding shapes and steps inside using styrofoam covered in paper mache.

THANKS!!! I'm building my two ball pythons a new cage and this is going to really help! Though I think I'm going to make it so it has a plexiglass front and that can slide in a out so it's easier to clean.

Thanks a bunch man! Getting a retic soon and I needed this guide badly.

This helped make my custom enclosure for my asain water monitor so thank u nd keep up the work , just research different things for the animals lucky me , I have a reptile vet on call , 24/7

What kind of wood did you use? I have read that pine and cedar are bad for beardies

This is awesome! Love the creativity!

your voice is so relaxing :)

Nice, man! Great job!

Thanks man, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Aren’t you worried about the reptile getting on top of the heat lamp and burning itself I want to in a Guana they got too close to the heat lamp stayed there and got sunburn so now I keep all my heat lamps on the outside of the cage and a certain distance between the lamp and the basking spot

why does this guy sound like he's sleeping

Okay, question: I noticed you put doors on it. No problem there, but my question is: how do you open the mesh?? o.O And like someone else has noticed: watch out with pine wood (toxins), but that can easily be solved by putting a sealant on it. Or by using some other wood. Nice concept, gonna use the basics and work it further out from there. ;) Thank you.

That's really cool. I'm planning to build a large enclosure that can fit perfectly under a twin size mattress. Do you think if I scaled this up it could support a bed if I put a box spring on it? Id think so right?
