Home Constructed Uro Enclosure DUW

My boyfriend has been diligently working on his new custom uromastyx enclosure. It's turned out so beautifully and I'm just amazed.

Here is the "Motel 6" enclosure his pair of uros live in now.

And here are a few shots of their soon to be South Beach Penthouse.

The back of the enclosure is constructed with a chicken wire form covered in fiberglass cloth and resin, finished with tile grout. It's hard to see but there are ledges and even a pillar for them to climb on/around. All the interior wood is sealed with fiberglass resin. He's waiting for the glass for the front swinging doors to arrive and he can complete the enclosure.

The hood he designed has a reflective panel for the UV bulbs and built in ceramic fixtures for mercury vapor bulbs.

And here's the back, venting the heating elements/bulbs with the power sources fixed to the back. No ugly wires!!!!

I thought his project turned out to be one heck of a great enclosure. I was teasing him I'm going to have him make a coffee table enclosure for the living room.

that is amazing. excellent!

Wow he has done a great job. I love the "rocky" background. Very cool, hope to see pictures of the finished product.

Thats a great cage! Tell him good job!

Awesome! I need to build one for my pair!

Do you have any pics of the Uro that call that home?

it looks nice

That is a very nice enclosure!! I am sure the uros will enjoy their new digs! :D

WOW.... WOW.........WOW! he just inspired me :P i have a 20 gallon long for my leo's. i think im going to go to michaels and buy a big block of foam and start molding and shaping it into a rock form kinda like that and then lay fiberglass on that then paint. im going to actually make their hides into the rock... sweet thanks for the inspiration.

yea that was awesome!

Oh... they'll HATE it!!!! Send it to ME!!!! :P

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
