Cheap Caging for Cresties

[Syn]

The tubs are really magenta-y-red... the flash made them "eyebleedingly pink".

Well, I had to be cheap with my geckos to seperate them because of current money issues.. but I tried to get everything I could! Still needs more stuff but my geckos usually like their paper towel tubes anyways.. Still working on it!!

Will add their old vine (will have to cut it up ) once I am 100% sure it is clean from parasites.. and will be getting bamboo sticks and hot gluing them to the cages.

Here is an outside view:

Inside view:

Try to spot Girl (hint: far right tub)

18 Gal Tubs, on sale for $3.50 each.
3-4 ft long vines with plants, $4.99 each @ 30% off. (Basically buy two get one free.
Screen, free, extra from another project.
Tubes, came from the used up screen, free!

So I basically spent no more than 20$ for 3 cages.. I feel so cheap LOL.

Might put down some paper towels but the tubs are easy to clean, wet paper towel, Pangea disinfectant spray, and it's clean!

I see her on the bottom!

Very nice setup! A* . We use something like that for our breeding groups. Simple and functional. Looks great.

Very nice, Sabrina!! And don't feel bad about being thrifty - we all have to do it at some point! (although you could have picked a less psychosis-enducing color...)

My favorite, though, is the little red barn in the background. ha ha ha!! Does one of your cresties live in there, too??

Thanks Ryan, isn't she such a dork?

LOL yeah the pink was the only think that wasn't $6 a piece, and $3.50 was a steal.

If I cleaned that out, that would be such a cute project! But no, it's my niece's.

Ummm, there's probably a reason why the pink ones were only $3.50.... lol

 

[Syn]

Looks great. How did you cut the tops? I used box cutters, it took me forever . There has to be a better way of doing it...

 

[jojackson]

Heated stanley knife works great!

 

[Syn]

I used a kitchen knife... LOL! Traced the lines with an exacto knife then cut it out.. I need one of those, Jo.

This how I get down

Done told you I'm stealing this. I may have to go another way over pink lol

Figure out what to do bout light yet Syn?

 

[Syn]

Lol yeah they had grey tubs but they were an extra $2 a piece.

Haven't figured out anything for lighting yet.

Mmm nice barn XD

I like seeing creative options that help keep your reptiles alive This is nice.

 

[jojackson]

Maybe you could build a timbre frame to surround the 3 tubs, a bit higher, then mount clamp lamps on that. Ones with bendable 'necks'.?

Lol, way to go Pure! "Its Tool Time!!!!!"

That'll cut through those suckers like cheese, wish I had one of those!
