I am bored at work and decided I would post some pictures of cages and racks that I have been working on this last little while. Hope you like.

This one was actually done before the spring show but I haven't posted a picture till now. It is 4' X 2' X 16" glass terrarium for slamanders. This cage went up to Edmonton, Alberta

This one is 4' X 2' X 3' glass terrarium with a custom rock backgroud for a water dragon. It went up to Westlock, Alberta You can't see the rock background that well in the picture so I have also included a picture of the background

4 - 5' X 2' X 18" Melamine with oak trim stackable cages that went up to Todd in Fort McMurray. 2 cages can be stacked together, and if needed another cage can be added to the middle in the future. It is made to look like 1 large divided cage, but they can be seperated for easier moving.

4' X 2' X 3' Melamine cage with oak trim. This went to Todds frind also in Fort McMurray

This is a custom rack for a leopard gecko breeder in Quebec. It was going to fit 16 1/2" X 24" X 6" Sterilite bins. This rack was being heated by 4" heat tape on the floor of each row and everything was being controlled by a helix DBS 1000.

I have another rack complete with a helix controller as well that I will post in the next few days. I just completed it over the weekend and I haven't taken any pictures of it yet.

Here is what I am working on right now. It is a 4' X 2' x 4' fir enclosure with a 4' X 2' X 2' stand complete with lighting, concrete background, and a misting system. The finishing of the cage hasn't started yet, but here is where I am at right now. The background looks really good if I do say so myself and I can't wait to see it all setup once it is completed. The whole interior is epoxy coated as well, but the pictures were taken before that was done.

Hope you like all of the cages and pictures. I will post more when I have some more pictures taken. Now I just have to get all of the cages done so I can build some stuff for myself.

I'm in the process of building my boa cage.I have a 5'x 3' backing to do something with.How did you do that with your background and the rock?????

Greg West · 10-20-05, 10:51 AM

You need to make your formwork using wire mesh and wood, then thinset concrete to adhere to the wiremesh, and then a final coat of thinset for the final look. Then it is painted and epoxied to protect it from damage and cleaning.

Do you have any pictures of a (sort-of-speak)step by step process of how you did it??????

Greg West · 10-20-05, 11:20 AM

No i don't. I will see if I can remember the wesites that did have step by step instructions on how to do it.

I have never followed any of these ones as I just basically learned to do it myself, but these may be of some help for you.
