I got a great deal on the 260gal encloser from LLL Reptile. At $69, It was to good to pass up. "Osang" (Fem Vieled) seams to be enjoying the extra space aswell.:) A huge upgrade over her 18"x18"x36" Alum Screen set up. I have the top half of the cage complete, yet the large plant in the bottom is a temp plant, being as its a fake. I havent found a decent plant that meets my standards yet. It has been very cold and rainy here in Southern California and all the local nurserys are depleated of decent ficuses and Hibiscuses.:( I am fortunate to own a home furnishings store and was able to steal a plant from the showroom for the time being. :p I snaped these pictures kinda late and caught her sleeping.:D "Sorry Osang, Smile!!" I will post more pics when I get the final plants in. Thanks for looking!:)

Hey Levi,

The construction seams to be great, pvc style tubes and connectors comprize the frame, along with a good quality mesh screen covering. The zippers are placed anlog the edges, and open and close with ease. I would rate the cage a 5/5, and for the money you just cant get a better cage of that size. I also added the optional soft tray for the bottom, it's really worth the extra $20. makes clean up a breeze. I really think your going to be pleased with your new 260! :)

Soft tray in the bottom takes care of that. Just wipe it down with a paper towel and your good to go. The soft tray fits perfectly around the base of the structure and then the screen goes on over the entire structure. The water and fecies that drops to the bottom will never come in contact with the screen/floor whatsoever. The soft tray comes up the sides about 6" so your covered no matter how much water spills in the bottom. The one thing that I do have a gripe about reguarding the soft tray is.... If a cricket falls to the bottom there kinda stuck there, since they cant climb the smooth surface of the soft tray. I took a piece of traction tape and secured it one side of the soft tray so they could climb back up the screen to thier demise.:p
