Hibiscus plant to munch on, two shelves and a ramp between them plus all the branches. Bottom has a cat litter pan for water. Hinge door that opens down with a screen for ventilation.

Wonderful little temporary habitat! As tiny as your iggy is, that should hold you for a couple of years since it is the same as a 260 gallon high tank. Great job!

Glad you like it, all together with everything it cost just under $200. Not bad since the ones online that large are about $1,000, and you still have to furnish them. It was fun to build too, and make it my own.

well, i totally cheated. susan and jill both say the very best cage for a hatchling is a reptarium. i just ordered a 260-gallon: 4 x 3 x 3 and the liner for it. i have no idea where i’m going to squish it into my house. i’ll figure it out. with shipping, 119.28, and i don’t have to build anything. i do have to put it together... i HATE putting things together, but it’s preferable to starting from scratch. i’m very excited; three more days!

That’s the normal price of a reptarium. I love them for hatchlings because they really are escape proof.

Bit Apple has a good price too.

And not all Petsmarts are bad. Elizabeth’s boyfriend works at a Petsmart and they work really hard to keep all of the animals healthy and happy.
