! damn good !!!!!!

[Tim_Cranwill]

It would MAKE the room it ends up in. Very nice work! :D

[Tim and Julie B]

You have no idea until you actually see it! In person it is very impressive. You would have to display something really nice in it to get people to look in the tank instead of at it! Truely artful.:D

[stormyva]

Awesome! I love it.
I'll trade you mine for that one :D

["Red-eye"_Matt]

That is awesome. Man I would love to get my hands on one (but no money of course)!

Very nice job Greg, is it solid oak? Im really impressed with the design, it must have taken you quite a long time, excellent work :D

[Greg West]

It is solid Oak trim and Oak veneer for the base of the cage and the cabinet. The cage was expensive enough as it was, but to include solid oak would have been way too expensive.

Thanks for te comments everyone.

I know what you mean Greg....makes you wish you had an oak forest in the back yard. I was wondering cause it looks so good you can't tell there is any veneer in there! Once again, really good job, by far one of the nicest ive ever seen. :D

[Greg West]

Thanks Shane..

I just wish I could afford to build something like that for myself. I am going to try and do a naturalistic frog enclosure in the same cage, but it would be half the size.

I should add some of the specs to this post.

Cage is 6'L X 2.5'D X 3' H
Helix Supersystem for heating and lighting with sunrise and sunset light dimming
Overheat Programming module and fan
temperature night drop
2 160 watt basking lights one on each end (at some point will be changed to powersuns)
2 48" verilux UVB flourescents
1 250 Watt CHE

More logs are going to be added to the cage do that the dragons can get closer to the lighting but haven't found some good pieces of wood to achieve it. This cage was built for someone else and so she is going to be looking after the interior cage layout

Let me know what you think

I was wondering what the volumn of that tank is if you know? I am planning on putting together a beardie enclosure some time over this summer and i'm kicking around ideas as to how to build it.

WOW! Greg that is a beautiful cage. How long did that take you to build?

[Greg West]

The cage took about 2 months to build, but it was build on spare time and weekends. I could probably do it in a month if I had more time and wasn't so much of a procrastinator. The cage is 340 Gallons roughly, but it is way overkill in my opinion. She has lots of beardies and a big cage was needed, but I think the height didn't need to be as high.

[Clownfishie]

It looks awesome! *drools*... great job Greg :)

[NewLineReptile]

THAT IS AWESOME WOW !!!! great job Greg.

[Edwin]

Wow Greg, wow.

I agree with you that the cage doesn't have to be that high for beardies, but I think that making it shorter would detract from the overall look of the cage.

I found it really interesting to see the evolution of your project, from the initial drawings to the final finished product.

[Bearded AL]

All I have to say is WOW!! I wish I could afford to build one of them or even close to it for my beardies Great job!!!! Looks sweet

[XxRachxX]

phwoar!! its huuuge!! well alot bigger than i thought it would be!
you are inded a very talented man greg ::bows down::

[Alicewave]

Wooooooo! *whistles* Very nice! I agree that it probably has more height than it needs but it's still friggin cool!

[Lisa]

That thing looks like it could make a room. Looks like lots of work too.

[tanker]

the best enclosure i have seen yet

[Blazin]

Masterpiece! Your quite the cabinet maker! Is it glass? and how do you make hinges for glass?

[Greg West]

They are friction fit hinges. I have a source for them and this was the trial cage for them. Thanks for your comments everyone.
