first time making an enclosure

[chamzilla91]

I've decided to make my own enclosure for my female veiled chameleon because it seems that she is a little bit to big for the 18x18x36 reptibreeze she has now. I'm about 2 hours into the planning and I have made 1/4th scale blueprints of the enclosure and it will be 48hx31wx19d(in inches) to fit the stand I have sitting around. A few questions I have are can I use regular treated 2x2s as the frame? And could I use gorrilla glue for the adhesive to hold the frame together

You can get 1x2 pine from home depot for 99 cents for an 8ft board......
Gorilla glue and screw the boards

Thank you for the quick reply and for that very useful thread. No home depohere but lowes has them for 1.24 I think for an 8 ft board. I went there already to check out what they had and bought some screening and glue. So next trip there I get the wood, screws, and hinges.
