Cage Idea

[hi106]

Ok. So I am building a new cage. It's gonna be home to two chams. It will be 72in long, 16in deep and 48 inch tall. I will have it sitting 1.5 feet off the ground. The floor of the cage is going to be Wire shelving for water drainage, with aluminum screen over it so no critters can escape. Below the wire shelving approx. 6 inches below will be a slanted wood floor going to a drainage bucket. On both sides. There will be a divider in the middle to separate the two little fellas. It will be made of 2x4, and 2x2s. Will be sealed with a soy based wood stain/sealant. The screen will be aluminum on all sides and top. Might have to do the back as plastic to help with temps and humidity levels. Have a mist king automatic mister. Will have a single nozzle and double nozzle in both halves of the cage.
Any suggestions to add to the cage? Comments? Concerns?
Thanks!

Update. It will be 24 inches wide. Figured 16 wouldn't be enough!

What type of chams and what sexes do you plan to put in the cage? Will you have a solid divider in-between the two cages

Male and Female Jackson. It will be a solid divider, probably plywood. But can be taken out when it's breeding time.

i dont know if you need something as strong as plyboard; simple hard plastic should do the trick as well (but make sure they can't see eachother)

Hard Plastic that size would be about 20-25 dollars, a sheet of plywood is like 5. That's why i'm using it
