here it is my first custom enclosure....NOT 1 item bought from a pet store...except the half log which was given to me...but my goal was not to buy overpriced from the likes of petmart/co. The total cost was about 100 or the enclosure and 15 for decorations , yes 15bucks...main source was second hand stores and i got my drift wood from mother nature her self..*yes i cleaned and baked everything.
That is to not say this was done without error, some you might not see in the photos. 1st , the plexi glass i got are too thin for the hinges. Secondly i stained the wood after everything was together, bad idea. 3rd , i did not have a jigsaw so i hand cut those squares and they are far from perfect...i also would of loved circle vent in the back!! But I am very impulsive went i want stuff and i work around anything to get it done asap so it doesnt always come out perfect, but Socrates loves it...and i dig it too.
1 other issue I have is the basking light is making the top of the cage hot as well..i put spacers but no help. I am still trying to perfect the temperatures as they are still a little hot, the basking temp is fine *102F...but the cool side is still sitting at around 90 when it should be 80.
So without further ado..here is Socrates house!
HOT SIDE
COOL SIDE
LONG SHOT
