6'x4'x4' for monkey skink...

[Nicky]

My cousin has a monkey skink and since he dosen;t have internet he wanted to know if it would be cheaper to build a 6'x4'x4' cage for his monkey skink he would use wood for 3 sides plus the bottem and the one 6'x4' pexiglass piece for the front would it be cheaper to make that or just by a 100 gal tank or whatever matches those demintions thx

Build. Glass is pricy, especially that size. May want to consider buying an old sliding door or something and making the cage door the size of teh sliding glass. Much cheaper then buying new glass.

Hi There......we have a colony of prehensiles and your cage sizing sounds good, but we would suggest using screen - maybe 3 sides wood and the front screen. Stay away from glass. They love to climb.

I have a 3Lx3Wx6H, use a big artificial tree, thats 5.5' roughly..
bunch of branches and logs inside.. I dont think screen is a good idea, they love humidity. Nighttime low temps, of about 65-70.. and high humidity.... our female is doing great. would be nice to get her a mate

Any more than 2.5' wide and you won't be able to get it through a door, especially at 6' long. You might need a bit of give in the door opening.

you'll probably have to brace it at the front too. 6' tends to sag.
