    The Princesses Castle....as requested!!
    Well here is her cage.....it was hard to get all the details of it. (this was made by my hubby). Now we have started making backgrounds as well out of styrofoam and cement. But this cage was done prior to that! Hope you like

    Walt....lol...thank you.....that means a lot to me.


    Greg we have a little bit of everything here. The double cage on the bottom is a chuckwalla, the top is my temporary cage for my baby iguana. The single cage is for my beardie. We are currently building another double for my uromastyx and my Blue tongue skink. Another one I am designing (hubby doesn't know yet):P is one that is about 2 and a half feet wide but about 4 to 5 feet tall...that one will be for the frilled dragon. All of these are designed to go with the furniture in the house so it has kind of the same style.


    The one I am MOST excited about that we are trying to figure out right now. It is a perm enclosure for the iguana. It will be almost all glass except the top and the bottom and will sit as a wall between our family room and breakfast nook. So it will be about 10ft high....so so excited for this one.

    The whole idea is to not walk in and see a bunch of aquariums or be slapped in the face by all the reptiles. It is to see a house that is totally customized and well decorated and the animals mesh in with the decorating. If that makes any sense.

    Setting your house up like that is a great idea! I was throwing around the idea a little while ago with my wife and she said it would be good so long as the snakes weren't out there as much because we have family who are absolutlely terrified of them. How could someone be afraid of a bearded dragon though :gj:

    Great enclosures by the way. You have some lucky little reptiles

    Thanks everyone....yea our snakes are actually in our bedroom with us in reptile basic racks lol. As soon as our house guest leaves (May) I am thinking of turning the guest bedroom into our snake room. I need to get started on setting up an incubator and hatchling racks so I can be ready for breeding as soon as they are old enough. Plus I want a work table and to set up my desktop down there as well. It will give me more space for company info and swag stuff...things like that.

    We do however have a milk snake....not sure what I am going to do with that little guy. He rarely comes out of his hide...still very shy. He is so beautiful I would love to make something really cool for him. Just not sure what yet.

    Haha. No more! no more! I just picked up some fat tail geckos? I've been wanting those for a few months. I LOVE them. They are such sweet hearts.

    Question for ya, What size is that enclosure? I think I'm ordering Wasabi's upgrade cage in the next week or two since he's growing so fast and I'm suck between two sizes.

    Those are the best set-ups I've ever seen! Everything is absolutely gorgeous and it makes me jealous that it isn't my house! I'd love to come home to that everyday. How peaceful and relaxing that must be. Love it love it love it!

    Thanks monica....

    Sorry Cinderbird I did not see your question....it is a 4x2x2

    Mr_BoaJangles
    WOW, man I got to get to work on my beardies new casa! What are the dementions you went with on that cage, also did you go with plate glass or plexi for sliding windows?
  • 02-21-2011, 10:01 PM
    BPelizabeth
    4x2x2....4 high! We use real glass and call in the dimensions to a glass company. Plexi will dull and scratch easily and is a bit more expensive than actual glass. We don't use what you can find at Home Depot as that is really really thin and not a safe piece of glass. If you go on DIY cages....and search me you will find another cage that my husband did with 2 cages (one on top of the other). He framed in the doors and it actually blows this one away!!!

    Omg I just got wasabi's upgrade enclosure, we just got home from picking it up. Pics when we set up.

    At some point I'll have BF build something lovely like this though.

    Right now we have around 30...we are breeding Balls but I also have a milk snake and lots of different lizards. I actually go to schools and teach kids about reptiles and let them interact with them. It is so much fun!! But I think we are done for about now.....with the lizards. I have my hands full. As far as the balls....no way...that will never stop...lol:P
