Re: the ultimate lightweight monitor enclosure
im seriously not trying to be mean, as I hate when people post things and get chewed apart, it has happened to me in the past and it certainly didn't make me want to listen even know they were right. gl hes 4' going into a 6' cage, that's too small for sure. your in the states, 4x8 sheets of 3/4" plywood is like $20 from what im told, here I know its like $27, that's 6 sheets, buy a few lengths of 12"x2" board stack them up for the substrate box, bag of screws $20, bottle of stain $20, some sealer $20, light fixtures $3 a piece, some extension cord to attack to the lights, $10 for a pack of 3, go to wrecker or some place and buy a house window if you want to make it nice for the front, that's costly, but some glass track for like $20 and some old screen door glass is dirt cheep. honestly you can build a really spot on nice tank for about $400 tops, I build a 4'x4'3 for about $200 a few years back and it took me a day to build.

Re: the ultimate lightweight monitor enclosure
I know they like dirt and use it to regulate humidity i know. I know the hides are important to keep stress levels down.retes stack etc.i know they need basking temps up to 135 degrees and a temp gradient of 75 -135 degrees throughout the tank.. i have heard the humidity should range from 50-75% and i have heard 70- 100% so i keep it at 80%. a have a day night cycle .. i know i know i know im in the process of building a cage

Re: the ultimate lightweight monitor enclosure
$400 so far dude. You boast on your creativity, but all I see is a magicians box. Wood is used for a reason.

Re: the ultimate lightweight monitor enclosure
Oh and speaking from experience with two albigs, You can shield your pond and filters all you want. But you cant stop a mobile monitor dipping in and out between the two. I put fresh TUBS of water in daily, and I dump out solid mud, daily.

Now that's an enclosure.. I really like how you layed out the branches. Can't wait to see it filled with dirt. What are you keeping in there what are the dimensions?

Its for a now (22") - sub adult Black throat. Measures at 10' long, 5' wide, and 7' tall. Once its completed and being used, I'll plan, start the adult enclosure, hoping to build a 16'x8'x8' down the road.
36" of dirt to go in. Plumbed water with drain valve. The branches are to (in hopes) help support burrows. We'll see.
Thanks guys!

Re: the ultimate lightweight monitor enclosure
I don't recall begging for donations to fulfill my responsibilities. 
I DID however borrow some tools.
