: Hello Megan and greetings!
: Just to let you know me and my wife recently built a cage for our male, Hamlet.
: We just went to the local Home Depot, got the lumber cut at the store for no charge to the dimensions we wanted, and some chicken wire. Altogether the material including 2 boxes of nails came to app.$35.00 Canadian funds (we live in Calgary).
: Dimensions were: 2 ft wide
: 4 ft long
: 5 ft high
: These dimensions may seem small to you, but our male is quite the runt for a 3 and a half year old, and he may not get any bigger than that. Not too sure why this is, but if you or anyone else has any suggestions, I'm open!
: Thinking that you have a normal growing ig, add a foot or two to each dimension to accommodate a rapidly growing bohemoth!
: Also, remember to utilize support beams on the front and back posted at the halfway mark of the framework to make room for a door, and to tack on some shelves. The lumber you need is basic 2 by 4 inch (really cheap) and some half inch plyboard for the bottom of the cage and for shelves.
: I also say use your imagination to customize to your applications, and I hope I have helped out!
: Good luck and happy building!
: Leenis

: P.S. Thumb through some reptile mags-for example; Reptile Hobbyist mag July 1998
: Page 60 This is a prime example of what you may need to construct.

: give it a whirl, girl!
