Re: Built the Savannah Monitor cage!
What kind of wood is it made of?
Not treated wood will end in rot and mold really fast.

Going to have to agree. Might be something you want to take care of before your sav gets settled in then have to be removed and changed around in 6 months time.

Re: Built the Savannah Monitor cage!
yes, i agree. you need to treat that wood, some plywood uses poisons in the glue, as well as pine and other trypes of wood are not good for reptile. as well as the fact that cage with rot very fast....many reason why its a nessesity. the heat will stimulate the mold growth, your soil needs to be moist all the time so you could imagine how fast that nice cage you build becomes a death trap.

Re: Built the Savannah Monitor cage!
Folks, Pine lumber is kiln dried, all oils are burned off in the kiln.... I can't stress that enough.
Only GREEN raw pine is a danger.

Re: Built the Savannah Monitor cage!
Not to argue with you Wayne but even kiln dried pine can be dangerous if swung with enough force.

that's the best kind. I pride myself on being one. A professor once called me a smart arse with talent in front of the entire class. Sometimes I think I should've stuck with Architecture...

I realize that. I should have clarified that my concern was more that It looked like pine plywood. In which case it is not safe due to the glues and other products added to it in the process of making it into plywood.

Re: Built the Savannah Monitor cage!
please learn from me take everything out and treat the wood. i made a cage for my sav last year and we had to take it a part because we was about to move and thank god we did because the bottom of the cage was all molded and was about to mess up the carpet under it.i think you will save so much money just taking everything out and treating it.Now i have a new cage for him and the first thing we did was treat it and seal all the edges.
