enclouser finding advice needed

[MelissaC]

Hey!

So I'm starting my mission to find an enclosure to house my pet when it get older. I feel like I have about 6 months, but I don't want to procrastinate.

Are there any tips, or places you recommend I look to find one that's not outrageously priced (within $150- $250). I'm not above making my own either, but I'm not too handy and my husband is capable, but better at other things.

So if anyone has any advice, I would be more than grateful.

Thank you in advance
Melissa =)

If you google crossfire enclosure you'll find instructions for a popular enclosure to build. some people convert furniture to tanks as well

for aquarium tanks:

Petco occasionally has a $1 a gallon sale

Look around classifieds, yard sales, bulletin boards etc for used tanks. People will sell them for dirt cheap just to get rid of them.

Craigslist! Post a "Wanted" add, if worked great for me.

I got my 4x2x2 off of CL for $90:

The crossfire one looks pretty easy to build. I'll try to talk my husband in to making it for me

I just posted on craigslist I hope someone has something in my area.

Thanks
