I have been so busy with cages since the Fall show and I have more upcoming that will be new stuff that I haven't done before.
Here are some of the cages I have finished recently

Here is a rack I just completed for John Danyluik complete with 11" heat tape routered into the wood. Routering 11" out of the wood was a real pain and took forever, but now there should never be a worry about having the heat tape wear out from rubbing.

here is an incubator I built for Ron Au to his specifications. 2 4' rows of 11" heat tape controlled by 2 fan which are always on, and a helix DBS 1000 controller built into the incubator.

Here are 2 stackable enclosures I built for Nikki Langford who just moved here from England. They are built with the fake oak veneer melamine and will be housing a bearded dragon and a rat snake.

Here is a shot of some of the 12 enclosures that I built for Jim Dyke at A Dragons Tale. Stackable melamine enclosure with oak trim. 5 of the 12 have a removable divider for seperating specific dragons etc. They also all have internal lighting inside the cage.

This was a glass enclosure I built for Alex Chen. It was built to house his chameleon. there is a hanger in the top of the lid to hang a some sort of hanging plant.

Well thats it for now. I hope you like the cages. There will be more to come soon as other projects that are on the go are complete.

Man I am always impressed with your cages Greg. Good job. That rack is sweet. You should see my feeble attemps at cage building you would laugh your *** off. I just keep trying maybe one day I'll get better. :D Fingers crossed!

I would love to do some theme cages, but most people are not willing to pay extra for labour. Some day, Some day.... Out of all of the cages I have done I have only done 1 backdrop for one person as they dont want to pay extra for a designed backdrop. I have seen tons of themed cages and they look like they would be fun to build and nice to look at every day once they are finished.

Dann,

I have seen your bearded dragon cage and I don't know why you would think you don't build good cages. That one you built looked great.

Thanks again for the kind comments everyone.
