I LOVE YOUR SETUP!!! I, too, am trying to come up with a little more decor in skitz's cage. I want to put a hammock in there, BUT WHERE DO I FIND ONE??? I am not a skilled rope-knotter type person so WHERE DID U GET URS??lol!! Also, are u using hardware cloth too? It looks like it in the pix so I was just wondering how strong that stuff holds up with shelves and ropes and such on it...Keep dem pics a coming, your ideas are great!! Beautiful lee-zarrd ya got thar!!

: Here's a shot of Phil's complete cage, which is 3x3x1.5. You can see Phil in the lower left.

: Here is Phil's hammock, which is also his litter box. He came up with this system himself, and now I leave a pie tin under the hammock to collect his messes. I empty it once a day and ~poof~ spotless cage. Phil also sleeps in his hammock. He uses the rope on the left to get up and down.

: Here's Phil's food bowl and frog. I have a friend who is a potter, and she threw this bowl for him on her wheel. You can see Phil is a messy eater; there's food thrown all over the place.

: Here's Phil's favorite basking spot, complete with Ig's Digs pillows from Diana :-) and a plant that he hides behind when there are strange people near his cage.

: And finally... Phil's pride and joy, the jungle gym. Phil's UVB light is right above this, and sometimes he will sleep on the highest level. Otherwise, he climbs around on it in the mornings.

:
: In all, this setup cost around $75 including lights. We are planning to expand it so that Phil has more vertical climbing space, but other than that it will last him until he becomes a free-roamer with a closet of his own...
