[Nicky]

Making a monkey tailed skink cage and was wondering if anyone could give me and estamite for about how much it would cost never made a cage befor so wouldn't know.

3'4'4' using
for back (3'4') two sides (4'4') and bottem and top. bottem will have vents cut in with plastic mesh for ventalation and top will have holes cut filled with mesh for heat lamps. and normal glass (not pixi). and then aqurium save selent. I was wondering if theres a place you can order custom built cages in ontaio perferbly around mississauga or toronto. Also does anyone know a cheaper type of wood then melamine i havent; been able to find any on homehardwears site so i'll have to go in anyways if anyways knows how much approximetly it;'ll be and any building tips or someone who mkaes custom built cages in Ontario it would be greatly appresciated thx:)

I used melamine for my boa enclosure, but if I had to do it again I would have gone with plywood and treated it. Not sure of the cost but it is lighter. Check the enclosure forum, I know there are alot of great ideas and even some step by step pics to help you out.

I hate melamine. I used OSB for my enclosures and sealed them with epoxy and silicone. I paid $9 per 4x8 sheet. It does have a lot of nooks and crannies which can be slightly harder to clean, but it still does the trick just fine. If you wanted a smoother surface you could go with a cheap exterior grade plywood.
Make sure that whoeever builds your cage builds it so it can be dissasembled, as it will be too large to fit through any doors in yor house fully assembled ;)
