Custom enclosure

[Zachariah0915]

Just recently finished up my project of turning an old hutch I had laying around into an enclosure for my blue nosey be named Poseidon. Took about a month to complete but I am very happy with the outcome. Leave me some feedback if you have any questions on what I did or some constructive criticism.

Nice looks classy, is it water proof?

 

[Zachariah0915]

Yes it is I used a water based sealant and silicone to water proof it so now water just beads up and runs down the drain.

Nice build, I know waterproofing can be a pain! I like that you have a wide cage, I think chameleons need more horizontal space than we give them in a 2x2x4.

One trick I learned when mixing wood and water is to lift the cage up and check for mold on the bottom of the cage, that will tell you if you have a leak,

CHEERS!

Thank you and yes it was quite a pain. I used stucco on the bottom and painted it however and slanted it down towards a drain so the water runs down like a charm!

You did an awesome job! I have been trying so hard to figure out how to do it the right way. I'm just afraid that I will mess things up. I look to IKEA for cabinets that might work.
