New DIY lizard homes - (almost) COMPLETE!

Well, I really wanted to get everything done before posting pictures, but I really need a break so might as well. The enclosures are all done anyway, only thing needs to be done are the furniture, so...

I'll post another pic when all done with the hides and stuff.

Basking lights turned off because it's so hot today.

Here they are, all built from scratch. Notice I stained the wood from darkest (bottom) to lightest (top) gradually.

Here's a better pic showing top ones.

I wish I could make one more the same size but that beam on the ceiling doesn't allow enough room.

That looks amazing. What type of reptiles is it going to be homes to?

They're already in there. ;)

Looks like its for Blueys! I am guess Northerns by the look of the substrate? The backgrounds look amazing! I wish I could pull off some backgrounds like that!

Very nice! What materials did you use? Are they just stacked on top of each other, or were they made to attach? Can I ask around how much it costs to build each unit?

Absolutely beautiful and well put together. I especially like the dinosaur background. Have you considered making those to sell?

Beautiful build and lizards. That's an unbelievable tease showing so little of the shingleback though! What's in the very top?

They are just stacked, no attachment. The enclosures are primarily plywood. Lost track of cost long ago... Backgrounds made from various materials including foam, plaster of paris, driftwood, bark, clsy etc. Bottom two backgrounds were bought. Top one was bought but I repainted it. The other two were constructed from scratch as detailed in my other two threads.

Never thought about making them to sell, takes a long time to make one and I'm not sure how well they would hold together during shipping.

Top one is a northern. I will put more pics once cage furniture is done. Just super tired after pulling an all nighter to finally get them finished (at least the enclosures) then going to work the next day. Fell right into bed after I got home.

Here is a pic of the shingleback. There is a thread detailing the construction of that background below in this forum too.
