I want to build my two beardeds a custom cage... I want it to be light weight as possible relative to its size. I want to make it 6ft long 22in wide and 20in tall. The whole system will be about 5ft tall since I have two they need their own so one would be in a bottom unit and one would be on top. I had a diagram but it got delete.
I want to use melamine but I hear its VERY heavy stuff... I have 2 flights of stairs because my home is split level. I cant have this huge thing that weights so much me and one other person cannot get it up the stairs. I already know the tile I am going to get and the UVB fixtures but these are the things I am not sure on...
What material should I use that is light but strong. How can I mount the heat lamp inside the cage...will it melt the melamine?
Is it cheaper to use melamine since I dont have to use a sealant on it...
Any other information would be really really helpful. My babies are still young and rather small so I have a LONG while before I need to build such a large cage.
