cage build for Bubbles the Iugana

[Repti82]

ok so here is the frame for the cage im building bubbles. me and my 2 friends started it this evening and the frame is already complete. it is 5ft wide by 4ft deep by 6.75ft tall. it originally was 5.75 but i wanted a little taller so i extended it a foot.

its going faster then i expected. i thought this part would take 2 to 3 days. so things are looking on the ups. let me know your thoughts

Very Cool! Those enclosures work excellent...I believe they call it a Jumbo Jungle Gym...I have built a few of them in the past and yep they go together fast once you get the pieces measured and cut. Couple of tips to remember when attaching the walls whether they are solid or plastic mesh...if you are using the zip ties make sure that the clasp is outside because they will cut Bubbles if left inside the enclosure. Also if you are building a floor under it for a base, which I would recommend, they make abs plastic pipe clamps that are cheaper than galvanized and work well to secure the frame to the floor. If you use the plastic clamps you wont have to worry about them corroding over time because she will splash water on the floor when she goes for a soak and it will also get wet when you are cleaning.
Also if you build a wooden base you can attach casters to the bottom making that enclosure able to be rolled easily outdoors so it can have double duty use in the summer...of course that is if your have a doorway large enough like double doors...if not they are inexpensive enough that you can build your outdoor enclosures the same way.
I am really glad that you found some folks to help you locally and very excited for both you and Bubbles because once she gets into a proper size enclosure and settles in she will be a much different Iggy than she is now!
Looking forward to the updates!

thank you everyone! im really bad at building so im glad its so easy lol. i only got as far as the door yesterday sadly. but it is getting there. my goal is to have it done by the end of the week. does anyone have any advice on the inside decor??? that is where im having issues because i dont like the shelving that are part of the design. the way the shelves are made they take up like the entire cage space.....and yes you are right its called the jungle gym.

just for everyone on a side note. she is now eating like full meals. but she has a thing for any kind of fruit. its the first thing she eats then she leaves the rest till later. but she is defyent against green beans and peas lol.
she is eating a daily diet of, Collard greens, mustard greens, and dandelion greens, also butternut squash(which she loves) then the peas and green beans. as for fruit she gets either mango or blueberries. sometimes bananas!
Is that a good daily diet?
