 New Enclosure for Kimberly Rocks

This is the enclosure that I built for my kimberly rock monitors. It’s 78"x24"x48". Making it 4 feet high was a little much, but I wanted to be safe. The only thing I’m waiting on is the custom glass for the sliding doors. The first pic is the right side of the enclosure, the second pic is the left side.

nice cage, i recommend that you put some wood latice on the sides it will add more usable space for your kimberly rocks.

You can also make more shelves, along wih usable walls... I’m sure your kimmys will make use of it... you can also make a 2nd basking spot, if you put shelves above you other bulbs, since you do have 4 foot high space.


See the light above? It’s another bulb soon to be two... you can do the same if you want= two basking spots.

Just tossin ideas....

Looking good.



Cheers,
Chad

Thanks for the ideas Chad. I just used everything that I had available from the original cage, so I’m probably going to do some more. Are those argus monitors? They look awesome.

you should post some pics if the kimberly rock monitor. I have debate several times on buying 2 of them but have never done it. I think I would enjoy them and they are they only other monitors I would consider owning besides croc monitors. I will be looking for a another croc monitor in spring in hopes of getting a breeding couple in a year or two. I want hellbound to have some nice size first, still growing farily fast.

These are the the 3 kimberly rock monitors. I’m told they are 2.1 but who knows, I have seen some interesting activity when I put all three together. They are extremely hard to find, especially females, but maybe I’ll get lucky at the NY reptile expo comin up. I’d like to buy another female. I think the enclosure is definitely big enough for one more. Anyway here they are....

The first male I got....



All three together....

One of the greatest dwarf monitors you’ve got there.

This might be my next monitor.....I hope find in HAMM atleast one individual and buy it.

Thanks for sharing

Beautiful glauerti’s. Can i have them?

Another choice on the walls is the corkboard they sell. Odatria can scale it w/o too much damage. you can just pin up sheets of it and cut it to size. but since you’re giving me them, don’t worry about that.

Great ideas, they are getting moved into their new cage tomorrow! I’ve been busy with school the past few days with midterms, so I’ll have to hold off for a little bit with more buidling. I’m definitely gonna throw more branches in so they can climb if they want. I just wanna get them out of their small holding cage as soon as I can.
