Levels of Retes Stack for Baby/Juvie Savannah Monitor?

How many levels are good for a Retes Stack for a baby/juvie? I was thinking of doing 5 levels? So for the materials I'd need 1'8 inch plywood sheathing and how many 2x4's would I need? Could someone post how to build one? My mom's boyfriend made the first one for me, but I want to try to make one myself. Thank you

5 levels should be plenty, for construction just use straightforward construction, myself, I never used one, there are other ways to achieve a gradient.

Now if it was called a monitor stack, I would try it out.

They may not be called a monitor stack but this was 3 rows down on the first page of google images search for "Retes Stack"

They call 'em tissues over there too, instead of a Kleenex. Branding is a funny process, eh?! Ha!

Beyond Varanids?! What's that?

And back to the OP, I would think 3 or 4 would be plenty, but your exuberance is refreshing so why not go for 5. These guys use all the space you give them so I'm sure it won't go to waste!
