These are the first 2 enclosures I built for our Red and Blue Tegu's. They are 7ft x 3ft x 3ft each. They weigh about 170 lbs each empty.

I've since added lexan on the inside of the doors to hold in the humidity.

I'm thinking about building new doors from 3/4" plywood, the 2x2's warp.






In process.























Estimated cost each:

(15) 2x2's (frame) @ $2.00 each = $30
(3) 2x4's (base) @ $3 each = $9
(1) sheet 3/8" plywood (base) = $15
(3) sheets 1/4" plywood (skin) @ $12 each = $36
surplus vinyl flooring = $18
vinyl flooring glue = $5
1/2" hardware cloth = $5
1/2" vinyl coated hardware cloth = $10
(4) hinges @ $3 each = $12
(2) handles = free (from work)
(2) hasps @ $5 each = $10
(4) casters) @ $5 each = $20
drywall screws = $10

Total to build = $180
The prices are guesses. I saved the receipts but never added up the cost.

Mylar background (13) feet @ $3 per foot = $39

Add prime and paint.

I added Lexan on the inside of the doors for about $30 .

They took about 3 weeks total each to build, including priming and painting. Gluing down the vinyl takes 4 steps @ 1 step per day.

(5) 3 cubic foot bags of cypress mulch (Agway) @ $15 for 3 bags = $30. Changed every other month.

Wow, impressive. I orded an ap rack for my snakes. I'll have 11 hatchlings soon, and needed to organize.
