Rambo and Twiggy's Duplex

[ubergnomie]

So Rambo & Twiggy are going to be spoiled rotten.
Thier duplex is under construction! Finally!
It's "almost" done. This is how far it was yesterday...

Got a lot farther today,there's a top and the edges are all finished. (pictures later of course)

This is the part where I ask for help:

My dad wants to go with sliding plexiglass doors. I like the sliding door idea but how would you keep them closed? And plexi glass scratches really easily, but I'm afraid if I get regular glass I'm terrified of it breaking.

And we looked for the tracks for the doors at Menards but couldn't find them, and nobody at our menards knows anything about anything. So where could we find these?

I'll probably have more questions once I think about this some more, but for now any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Here's a newer picture. Sorry for the poor quality.

looks like it is coming good. are you going by intrucstions?

 

[ubergnomie]

Didn't have any instructions. My dad is amazing with construction and I told him the dimensions I wanted and he came up with a plan.

Looks great! May I ask what the dimensions are? Looks kind of small (maybe it's just the pics) but if so, that enclosure won't last u very long as Bearded Dragons grow pretty quickly. A 40 gallon breeder is the minimum size requirement for an adult. The dimensions for a 40 gallon breeder are 36 inches long by 18 inches deep by 17 inches high.

Its pretty massive acctually. The whole unit is 6 feet tall. Each cage is 4ft wide, 2ft deep and I think 2.5ft high

So who gets "on top" :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[ubergnomie]

Lol, I'm thinking Twiggy's going to be on top, she's less of a jumper.

Hopefully I'll get some more progress today. Yesterday was spent buying a million things I forgot for the cage. Like vents

 

[ubergnomie]

More progress.
All the holes for the vents are in, and all the vents have been bought! I'll acctually put them in once the unit is painted.

As far as doors go... I need help :? ... plexiglass is extremely expensive, and I can't find the tracks for sliding doors anywhere, and my dad doesn't want to go online to get them... any ideas what I could easily do for doors?
