New Monitor Cage Build
Been Spending a lot of time working on this giant lately. Building a 4'x8'x'4' cage for my Savannah Monitor. It will have 1/4" glass doors and 1/4" windows on each end with a HID metal halide and sulfur sodium light setup when its all done. I will post more as it goes on.

Re: New Monitor Cage Build
Started getting the inside sheeting put in today. Put in a shelf/box area that is going to house a double 5 gallon sump and filter for the pond that will be on top of the shelf. The doors have double hinges on them to I can either open just the glass portion of the door, or I can open them all the way up and have full access to the opening of the cage. More updates to come soon.

Re: New Monitor Cage Build
Well the cage build got put on hold for a few today. While I was working on it I pulled my back pretty bad moving a half sheet of plywood on to the table saw to cut down for the side panel. Hopefully I will be feeling well enough real soon so I can get it finished.

Re: New Monitor Cage Build
Well finally feeling good enough to get out and get some more done on the cage the next group of pics will be with all the rubber laid, I am pretty sure you all know what plywood looks like with some square holes cut in it so I didn't take any pics today.

Re: New Monitor Cage Build
Started getting the rubber put in the enclosure tonight. What a PITA I must say, had I known that it was going to be like this I would of just sealed the wood with resin instead. But here are a couple pics of the current progress of it I am going to get it finished it up tomorrow night and then get all the seams sealed up.

Re: New Monitor Cage Build
Finally to some time to get back to work on the enclosure. All the rubber is now in and extra sealed where need be and also got the main part of the plumbing and pond put in. Going to try and have pretty much most of it done this weekend as long as time allows me to.
