[python_dan89]

Thats a crazy enclosure A+++

 

[Laghairt]

Incredible crocdoc, did you make it yourself?

 

[crocdoc]

yes, I made it myself. It's 2.4 x 2.4 x 1.2 metres. The top and bottom of the enclosure aren't visible in the photo, but it's pretty much floor to ceiling.

 

[myteam]

if i dont mind how much was it to build
and did u raise them in it their whole life or did they have a smaller enclosure before this

 

[crocdoc]

They were tiny when I first got them, so I had them in small enclosures and gradually moved them into larger enclosures. They both got moved into their current enclosure at two years of age. It's a huge enclosure when you're standing next to it (or in it), but they could do with something larger and if I had a yard I'd get them outdoors into an aviary. You're going to find yourself giving up a lot of floor space for an adult spenceri, too, for you can't go vertical with them.

thts why i like the idea of a lace as u can go up aha
was the current enclosure tough to build
and do u have any pics of the smaller enclosures u had them in by any chance
btw i appreciate your help man

 

[Boney]

here's one ive been working on for a while . nearly finished now just need some wood and then ill put my monitors in there.

Ben Stein made my rock i just had to cut and fix.he done a real good job i think and he was good to deal with i made the cage and the rest of it

 

[myteam]

thts nice boney looks great
wat monitors are u puttin in there

 

[Boney]

ive got a couple of ackies here . the cage is 8 x 4 x 3 foot so they should be able to turn around and even get lost in it.

 

[myteam]

its very nice mate
if u dnt mind was it expensive makin the enclousre

 

[crocdoc]

Yes, the enclosure was tough to build - especially the mock rock as I didn't do it by the easiest technique.

I'm afraid I don't have any photos of the smaller enclosures uploaded to my photo hosting site, or even on this computer (they're on a back up hard drive and I'm on my laptop), but as I'm still using their original enclosures as raise-up enclosures for hatchlings I can get photos of them at some stage.

 

[crocdoc]

Nice enclosure, Boney. My only advice would be to get some deep substrate in there for them to dig into.

 

[Boney]

thanks mate , yeh i think it came up good !

the cage was not that much 4 sheets of melamine at $32 a sheet. aluminium windows $330 vent $20 then you got lights and the rock and that ,but yeh the cage its self aint that much

 

[myteam]

aha fair enough crodoc
were ur smaller enclosures as extravagant as this one is?

 

[crocdoc]

No, the smaller enclosures are more utilitarian. I did have plans to mock rock them up and have spare mock rock, but haven't had the time nor inclination (and the enclosures are rarely empty for long, anyway).

 

[myteam]

ohk tru
wat other reptiles do u have in ur collection?

 

[Boney]

Nice enclosure, Boney. My only advice would be to get some deep substrate in there for them to dig into.

thanks crocdoc your cage aint to shaby either .

yeh on the left hand side of the cage if you can notice there is a pond like thing built in the rock on the floor thats getting filled with sand when i have time .no rush no monitors in there yet .
