I will be building a similar enclosure for our two sandy's after we move. Got plenty of inspiration from yours, Richard. :)
Have you built some new ones?

I blame Smitti. I've had a love of reptiles for a very long time but never looked into monitors until he came along. So let's just blame him.
 
[MENTION=42187]Murph_BTK[/MENTION] I'm innocent I swear!!
[MENTION=41911]imported-varanus[/MENTION] those are off the richter! I want to do the same but it gets too cold here in winter.
 
[MENTION=32194]Smittiferous[/MENTION] you could build a seasonal outdoor enclosure for your flavi, and move it indoors during the winter. We were planning something similar with the Mertens until we decided to move.
 
Thanks All:). Daz/Kaz, I'm working on an aviary style for these Rosies, I'll post some progress pics as I go. Re cold climates, as Pines mentioned seasonal outdoor or connected aviary/ indoor are the go. Hot boxes work well (1st pic) and an insulated shed extension I'm working on (straight into the aviaries above-when finished). Yes, I have no life!:).

[MENTION=38465]pinefamily[/MENTION] Well I do have various drawings I've done for mobile pits that are meant to be wheeled in the garage for the colder months... I may also be moving soonish so I've put stuff like that on hold until I know what's going on.
[MENTION=41911]imported-varanus[/MENTION] holy crap! That box in the first picture, is that purpose-built or appropriated?

Brumation boxes for the Rosies. I'll partially bury these in a dry spot for over wintering sites (75mm insulated "cooler" boxes-from Bunnings).

Purpose built. I copied one I'd seen on a thread here a few years ago. Made from recycled cool room panels, $450 all up, which is not bad for piece of mind:).

P1020341.jpgP1020342.jpg14080891_1182725948454130_776056396_n.jpgMy reptile collection is somewhat scattered around the house but the bulk of it is in the living room. The enclosure next to the couch is my Smooth Knob Tail Enclosure. The biggest terrarium has a breeding pair of Spinifex Hopping Mice, next to it is a small blue klick klack which has our Marbled Gecko in it. The terrarium directly next to the tv is for our two Thick Tail Geckos. The other tank in the rumpus room is for our Ridge Tail.
 
+2 with that one, Smittiferous, lol. When people say reptile rooms, I laugh internally. We also have a reptile house. Monitors in the family room, lounge, and study, pythons in the lounge, beardies in the lounge, and a skink in the spare bedroom.
 
I've clicked a couple of likes on this thread, then decided they're all worthy of credit. Great to see so many herps being pampered, and I'm particularly pleased by the facilities provided by the keepers of large monitors - these animals are so active and intelligent they deserve heaps of room and the very best sort of environment in which to function normally. Congrats to you all!

Thank you Herpo, inspiration is the way, not jealousy.
 
Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little jealous... :D
