Completed 2 Drawer Cage

KILLER IDEA!!! How are you getting light and heat in there???? Can you forward me the details on dimensions. I am wanting to build something like this for a rhino. (caseyc@gemstarconstruction.com)

Thanks. I don't have any formal plans drawn up for this. I just started and made measurments and notes along the way as I built it. Basically, it is a dresser drawer with two drawers that have glass fronts and screen tops. I made it with 3/4 inch plywood and 1/4 inch glass so it is heavy as hell. But sturdy. For lighting I used two flourescent thin strip lights attached to the inside above each drawer. For heating I cut a square hole in the bottom of each drawer, routered a ledge from the inside and silicon sealed a glass plate inside the ledge. Then attached a UTH to the bottom of the glass.

Why do I have the feeling that this will be the new replacement for rack systems, awsome!!! Where did you get the lights? Who makes them?

One of the best ideas I have ever seen. So cool

The lights are just thin fixtures with standard 8W bulbs. I forget who makes them but I purchased them at Orchard Supply Hardware. I just found something that was thin enough to fit on the inside of the top and middle rails of the cabinet frame without showing.
Don't give up on racks yet. Racks are a lot easier and cheaper to build.

That looks really good, I was thinkling of doing something like that with my dresser but I guess ya beat me to it, great job.
