Designs for a new cage

[Ilikepie9999]

I just got a Baby Veiled and the glass aquarium I have now is not exactly great but i don't want to shell out 300 bucks for a terrarium. i want to build one that is like 60X30X20 and I have a pretty good idea on what i wanted to do but I could use some good input as to what i should do

I was thinking using stainless steel window mesh and bending it to a rectangle and TIG welding some sort of frame around the corners top and bottom, make a drainage at the bottom and cut out a rectangle in the middle for a door and makeshift something for that.
If anybody has made something like that could you please send me some orthographic pics so I have an idea at what to do

Hows it going man... I'm new to this site... and the hobby in general so take what i say here with a grain of salt although I do a lot of research... I would imagine that your veiled is in the same boat as my panther and from what my breeder and info I've read on the web would tell you... you need to do your cage in a progression.. a baby needs a smaller cage with lots of vines and branches so if it is clumsy and falls it doesn't hurt itself... and also it controls the range for how far it has to go for food and water... a baby (0-4 months) 16"x16"x29" (5-12 months) 18"x18x36" (1 year +) 24"x24"x48" or bigger

As far as how to build it I've seen really nice ones made out of the same stuff you would make a screen door for your house out of... and you can get everything you would need to make it from a local hardware store...

I found this really cool dude J Dog on youtube that does an awesome walk though on the whole process I'll post links under this but in case they don't work his user name for youtube is rawg277201 and you can just look him up

Kuskye, whats up man... After posting this I checked out the pics you posted on that other thread... That is pretty sweet set up man I dig the Velcro idea... Being new to forums and this site I don't really know if i would be in any type of breach of etiquette to share the links i just posted with the kid on the other thread too... People on this seem to be awesome and really nice so seeing that you're a senior member and have posted a lot just kind of hoping you can give me a little whats what as to how this works...

custom built add on not that big but will do until they are all grown up, just straight chicken wire and bamboo grass
