Got the second box assembled today. took about 2 hours on my own. This time I did some corrective cuts to fix the less then stellar cuts from Home Depot. This one is far far more square but about 1/4" less deep. I will have a lot less sanding to do on this one. This is a very easy Beginner level carpentry project as long as the initial cuts are good ones.
This image has the front door on top of the black plastic clamped and gluing for at least 12 hrs.

Still need to settle on hardware. Haven't decided how to latch and lock cage doors but I like that they are large it should help with access and cleaning. Also considering what to do about air vents. Think I may drill a series of holes and we can cover or uncover them as necessary. The vents I used for the Bearded Dragons cage is too big I feel. I am thinking along the lines of a series of holes in a circular pattern with a piece of wood screwed on one corner that we can swing around to cover more or less holes. Doing this on each side I feel should help in heat / humidity retention and give us some fine grain adjustments.
Also I ordered:
1 bottle - Prevent-A-Mite $19.99
1 - 18" straight hemostat $15.99
