    Sadly I made the mistake of buying a 1.1 pair of w/c black tree monitors. Never truly acclimated and only survived about 6 months. It is 46" by 40" by 7' tall. I recently converted it to a grow operation for over wintering my chilli plants
    Cost including the large glass was about 250$

    I just built a 48"x18"x18" cage that came out really nice. I don't like linking to image hosting services so I can't post pictures here.

    It used to be that forums would let you upload a few pictures.

    Re: Post your homemade cages?

    I just finished drawing up the frame in solid works. The frame will be built from 1in extruded aluminum and the siding will be 1/4in xpvc with glass sliding doors in the front. Here is a pic of the frame assembly...I will post the finished drawing as soon as its done.
