    my savs new home!
    so i had a large enclosure for my 6.5' boa but a friend has taken him so i did a lil drinking an decided to modify the enclosure for my sav.... he seems to like it an shouldnt grow outta it for long time... it measures 6'Lx 56"Tx 26"W
    i like that he has to climb and work to get up to the hot spot which he figured out fast... the hide has an 11x8 piece of heat tape under neath a piece of tank carpet...
    lemme know what you guys think!!!

    My husband and I built an enclosure for our full grown green iguana that measures 5 feet long, 4 feet deep and 7 feet tall. We too put in carpeted ramps and such for her. She loves it.

    I got a kick out of seeing yours and had to show it to my hubby. Most people see ours and go "Man, isn't that overkill for and iguana?" We say heck no!

    Yep, just posted it earlier in the General Lizards Forum. I'm still working on getting some plants and such in there for her but this is what it looks like right now.

    I would recommend lots of branches a little bit thicker than she is at her biggest point. Cram as many in there as possible, and put cork bark all over the walls; this will utilize the amount of usable space in there.

    I really love savs, and its nice to see someone give them a good sized enclosure. Too many people cram them in fish aquariums that they cant even turn around in.

    Good job on the enclosure. Im deffinetly jealous.
