Enclosure Project (repost)

[alewis0890]

I figured id repost this thread to show everything or almost everything.














Not where I want it yet but its livable. Total cost of this with the glass was 264.38 for everything including lights, bulbs (reptisuns) tile, grout, liquid nail, ect.... This was almost everypart of the build except for doing the tiles. Wood was all flushed and mounted by myself which is pretty hard to do with one hand. I have no skills whatsoever in handpainting like reptilelvr so my walls are just bare. But thats about it for now.

That turned out awesome I really like the tile work. I'm debating about tiling my cage, but I'm worried about the added weight (I'll be moving it twice before summer).
Your dragons have their own condominium
How does the glass open? Is it flip up or slide? Mine slide, but I used cheap thin plexiglass and its not working all that well.

[alewis0890]

Its sliding glass doors with 1/4 inch glass. Tile is great, but the way i built it needed more reinforcement to hold.

Ok so this may seem like a bit of a dumb questions, but how did you get the sliding glass in there? I kinda bet the plexi glass to pop it onto the tracks. Does your glass slide past the cage?

[alewis0890]

Nah the top track is deeper than the bottom so you can slide the glass up in the top and over the bottom and drop in place..

Allan do any crix or worms or anything ever get caught in the sliders?

[alewis0890]

dont know, i havent fed in it... I use baby isis old 30 gal breeder for my feeding tank, till i get some babies of course lol. Debating on hera and zeus paring up, but not sure. keep a few babies and the rest sell for $30... theres no reason to pay double or more than that from petco, petsmart or anywhere else that has mistreated dragons. anyway back on topic, mi pretty sure they can get in the  track on one side but the dragon might find that handy as he has to do less work.

Okay thanks allan

I have a tank with sliding plexi glass panels, but I bought the thinner plexi glass and so yes crickets actually prefer to get themselves stuck between the lip of the enclosure and the plexiglass. And then I either save them or they die like that. Oiy. So now I try to feed Lilman in a different tank.

What kind of tile did u use? It looks similar to flagstone that I sell. Just not sure. And what did u use for the grout?
