    New freshly built cages

    Built 2 cages today. Wasn’t to bad hardest part was locating materials. Cages are pvc. Ran out of time with the 6x2 but the 4x2 is 100% complete. I believe they came out good just let me know what you think or if there is something I could have done differently.

    Looks good.

    Did you seal the seams?

    Only things I do different are moving vent holes closer to the top or place them on the top an use a router. If you don't have a router ask around an if your lucky one of your friends will. Butt joints work but routed edge ones work better. The setup time is longer then the cutting time. That's the bad part.


    What are the prices for 4x8 sheets in your area? I've been waiting for five months for an order.

    Thanks for sharing!

    The 4x2 is sealed. I haven’t made it to sealing just yet with the 6x2 as I try to do that last. I can get 4x8 sheets for 50 each sheet. They have black as well but it’s like 125 a sheet..only difference is the color.

    Nice looking cages!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    $50 a sheet. If you have room stock up! I'm at $75 (old order price) an the current price is $120 (never in stock). I thought the new price for stud 2x4's was bad.

    Now, since you posted your build, how many people want you to build an sell?

    Thanks again!

    Geez this pvc sheets are definitely not cheap! I have had a few local reptile keepers ask yesterday. Honestly I don’t mind doing it by request for extra money,not hard at all.

    Re: New freshly built cages

    Looking good.

    I don't trust my hands too much. Not great with building, fixing, etc. I imagine if I built my own tanks, I'd have snakes all over the house - after they escaped .

    Anyway, nice job.

    Did get the lighting put in the 6x2 today. My goal was to complete the setup but everywhere I went was out of 1/2 in u channels for the sliding doors so guess will get done was I locate. All good because the bulk of the work is complete
