I have to admitt this one was A LOT of work!!! He did a ton of router work plus the doors apparently were quite the challange. I do the staining and we were trying to match some family room furniture. It took a mix of 4 different stains to make the color right. All in all it took us an entire month to complete this one. I did not think it would ever get done....lol

The back walls were fairly easy though. I was dreading trying the process but when finished I was in love with it. I think moving forward I will probably do this in most of our cages. Turned out very sturdy for the reptiles and waterproof which is great since I have to spray for humidity.

As a side note if you decide to build something like this ours are both 4x2x2. I would make the top a little taller as we are having some challenges with it getting a little too hot as heat rises. We will be installing a mister into the top to assist in more heat control as well as a couple more vents. But if I had to do over ....I would probably add another foot to the height.
