I would pay you $1500 to make one of those for me... Shoot - I would pay to have a COUPLE of those (snakes, lizards, tortoises - with your talent, our crew would be in heaven!) I wouldnt mind making a few if I had the time, but with my job I am putting in about 12-15 hours a day 5/days a week.... no time for iggy cages. I'll let you know if I ever plan on building more. If you want to try yourself, let me know... I would be happy to help in any way that I can. |

I dont have any blue prints drawn up, I mostly worked off the top of my head.
If I have time I will see if I can get them put into autocad in the next few weeks.

Brad, I really like what you did and I am trying to build something similar for my ig. I have tried to get plans on an enclosure I like but have yet to be successful! SOOOOO I'm taking a chance at making this thing on my own. I would appreciate it if you could help me out a bit. I can put anything together if I have directions but since I dont,I have some questions. Please excuse my ignorance but I am still learning!
1. What size is your enclosure? Just so I can get an idea.
2. How did you connect the various parts of the enclosure so that it can be disassembeled and reassembeled?
3. How did you assemble the plexi-front?
These are the first questions I have since I am going to buy most of the material this weekend. I hope you do not mind if I pick your brain but I appreciate your help! THANKS IN ADVANCE!

My habitat is 5.5' long, 5.5' tall, and 3' wide at it's widest point.
I used 3" long lag screws to hold the cage together. It is easy to take apart with a ratchet and a few sockets.
The Plexiglass front was by far the most difficult part to assemble. I used some plastic latticework that has a "U" groove in it to hold the plexiglass in shape. There are no screws holding the front two panes of plexiglass in place.
I will see if I can get you a few photos and some more info.....

Not meaning to bring back old posts, but I just watched your vid on Youtube, and I have to say, Moe is a very lucky Ig!!!
I love the bowed front with the plexiglass! I'm about to start construction on Mordecai's new cage, and I think I'mma try to do something similar, if it's ok with you, of course. =)
