Well I finally started my first cham enclosure. It's going to be 2.5'Wx2.5'Lx5'T. The frame consists of whitewood 1x2's, with a plywood back and floor. All pieces are sealed with Wolman's Advanced Waterseal, a waterbased sealer. I'll post updates on the progress on here as it's being completed. I cut and sealed all the pieces this morning, and are now sitting out curing in the Atlanta sun.

no offense but it would probably be a good idea to have some progress when you post a progess thread

No no no I think it's a good idea to post right from scratch 'cuz I mean, if people are interested in how they think this project will end then it's best to start from scratch.

^lol, I think he probably called it that because he's going to keep the thread going as he works on the cage.

anyways looks good so far, but, are you sure it's only 2.5' tall or was that a typo? (judging by the pics it's not going to be a cube shaped cage)

i know i'm just kidding, you actually do make a good point, if someone sees something he can do better, it would be best to point it out before its constructed, i withdrawl my dumb joke just messing with the kid

cgslim i dont think your making the cage tall enough. What species are you keeping?

Nico - Im keeping a female veiled right now. She's still small, but this cage will do quite nicely for her I think.

Electric - No, it's 2.5' wide x 2.5' long x 5' tall. Total typo lol. After typing all those 2.5's, a man gets confused sometimes. Thanks for catchin that.

Dank - Electric was right, I figured I'd post from the start all the way till the end. That way maybe it can help someone else, and maybe catch a lil advice for myself.

tryme - Thanks for the compliment :-)

-Dave

The typo would have been perfectly suitable dimensions for a female veiled.

Well I wasnt too sure what was really required, other than the equation I got from a site with the length of the cham from nose to vent. And I also wanted to have a cage that I could have a small indoor garden n maybe use it for something else one day, hence it being so large. I'm sure Liz will love her new mansion tho :-)

Bigger is better in my opinion. Females can lay eggs regardless of being mated so you def have enough room to keep a nice laying bin in there and Im sure she will enjoy the extra room.
