Adult Uromastyx cages
I have one uro now, and he has just reached the point where he needs a bigger enclosure. I was wondering what everyone else uses and if you have any suggestions for a final adult cage.

I used 3/4 inch melamine, it holds the heat good and they cant scratch it up with their claws. I have a 4' X 20" X 20" cage. Heres a pic

I use the same thing, almost. I used melamine with sliding plexi glass doors (i learned the hard way that they will claw the crap out of it so now im gonna have to get me some glass soon) My tank measures 4' x 1.5' x 1.5' and imo this is perfect for one uro at adult size. Im guessing you have a mali?

Bartman- If you dont wanna spend a fortune of glass just go to a hardware store and buy some mesh like mine, its $1 per foot. Then just use some wire cutters and a staple gun and your set.

Yeah the holes are around a quarter inch, mesh is also fun for the uros, they always climb all over the walls.
