Did you build that cage?

wow, one nice looking cage. but it
looks like it wont hold heat well

No, I didn't make this cage we bought it, the only thing I had to do was put it together which took a few hours. As for the heat, it does retain it pretty well. That was one of the biggest concerns we had: to be able to use the AC and not have to worry about the igs getting cold. So, I have the basking lights on a timer, the UV lights on another timer, and the ceramic heaters on a thermostat with a humidifier. During the daytime the temperature at the top stays around 95 about 88 in the middle and around 80 at the bottom. The humidity usually fluctuates between 60-85 percent (depending on how much I open the vents).

No, I didn't build this cage: we bought it. I did have to put it together when it came. That took about an afternoon or so. As far as retaining the heat, I have to say I'm very pleased with it. That was one of the biggest concerns that we had. We wanted to be able to finally use the AC and not have to worry about the igs getting cold.

After assembling this cage, do you think you could have built it from Angle iron and glass cut from a shop? Maybe some wood fabrication?

Nice cage. I have gotten some of my cages from cagesbydesign as well. I'm still planning on getting at least 2 more.

I suppose that you could use angle iron and glass to build this cage. I think the glass would get kind of heavy. The stuff on this cage is plexiglass, which makes it a lot lighter and easier to move. But, if you know that kind of stuff....go for it!

Thanks for the compliment, we are actually planning on getting 2 more cages to attach to what we have now. However, it will have to wait until we move into a bigger place. The animals are taking over......and we're runnin' out of room. LOL
