Ok I've been talking about it, and here it finally is. Chaca's new cage!! The cage is 30/30/48 putting the top 8 ft off the ground. (we have 9 ft ceilings). He took to it like a fish to water. Not one day of stress.
Enjoy
Getting ready to stain the cage and the vorax stand.
My weapon of choice
Mad scientist at work
Drying cage components
Finished product
I used some nice looking window latches, but found out that they don't work if the door can move even the littlest bit. Simple fix was to drill a hole through the door frame and into the cage frame and insert an Allan wrench when the door is closed. It locks up super tight now.
The bottom drain pan slides out for easy cleaning
Plastic hardware cloth is used to keep Chaca out of the drain pan. It also allows poop and such to fall down there. Well sept that one piece I didn't see until looking at this pic lol
The plants, 2 ferns, 1 ficus, 1 Hibiscus Coccineus. I need to replace the fern in the back. They don't take to transplanting to a pot very well. I dug them up out of the wetland woods behind my house.
And finally just for fun. This is a panoramic of what I get to look at wile watching TV.
I built everything in this pic. Well everything besides the TV and the Exo-Terra.
Needless to say, I've been quite busy these last 2 weeks. Hardly a day has gone by that I wasn't building or staining something. The TV just got mounted today.
