    WIP....................Dont want or need no stinking tubs
    Plans have been over running my brain for the past couple months and I finally had the time AND the money to pull the trigger:D
    Still have to make the door but the weather screwed me today:mad:
    Fully water tight!! Venting is actually going to be built into the lexan door

    Need the weather to dry out so I can stain and finish the outside.

    BTW its 36Lx18Dx13H

    Just need another weeks or so to air out and I have to install some limiters on the doors.
    There are several things I am going to change on the next ones but these will work.

    Very Nice! I'm always impressed when people build their own cages. :gj:

    What are you gonna put in there?

    :O Wow! All that for your BPs? I'm impressed, most people would just go the route of a rack system at that point.(from the looks of it you could have built a nice DIY rack too) I imagine it's cause you like to display them though, which is good. :gj:

    Yeah, our friends like seeing them too.
    Gonna get a juvi rack when we get our first clutch.
    Really they were not that expensive to build but I wouldnt sell one for less than $175.00 just because there is a lot of time in the detail work.
    If I planned it right I should be able to get 15 to 18 enclosures where we currently have 5 tanks:O All depends on how high I want them stacked.:confused:

    Go WalMart Dog Food bowls!!! hahaha I just picked up a whole grip of those for my racks. They are awesome, look good and their cheap. I cracked up when I saw it. AND it matches the color of stain/varnish you used!

    That looks like you used linoleum for the inside of the cage with that rock-type pattern? If so.. great idea! If not, what the heck is it?

    Really impressed guy. It looks super nice. Really custom.

    I spent 9 hours hand laying all of those stones!!!!!!!!!!:O:O:O:O

    NOT LOL It is the linoleum you speak of, buy it is the only one with paper backing that I can find. You dont want to use the foam backing stuff because it starts to break down over time and I wanted these to last a while:gj:

    Nice job!!

    It looks great, I like the cut lino that works well.

    I really need to get around to photographing my new enclosure I just have no time.

    Good looking cage. I like the inside,I had a bunch of extra formica around the shop so I started lining my cages with that.
