Anyone know a good carpenter in Tampa,FL area?

Hey guys!
I will be getting a blue tegu in the next year or so but right now I am focused on getting the perfect cage built. I am not handy at all and do not necessarily want to buy custom because of shipping.
I was thinking about get a enclosure plan off this site and giving it to a carpenter or cabinet maker. Someone that is handy lol but not sure who to go with. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks guys!

Check craigslist.

I thought about that but have no clue who task and how to know if they are trustworthy.

I have seen a good number of large (tegu sized) enclosures available on Craigslist. Some people build them & others are getting rid of them. They usually have them priced decently too.

Thanks for the replies so far. I have tried to search on Craigslist but can never find anything. How are you guys searching on there? And can you also explain how to find a good carpenter. What should the expectations be?

Sometimes I just type in key words on Craigslist.
Like: reptile, lizard, aquarium, enclosure, tank....and maybe combine them : lizard tank, reptile supplies, etc....

As for the carpenter thing...I'm not sure...but where I am, I pass this house where he makes all sizes of dog houses & sells them from his front yard....if I needed something built I might ask him for opinions or something....but my dad is an all around handy man so i'd probably ask him to build something...
He already made a table for my 75gl aquarium...lol

Lol your lucky. I searched Craigs list the way you mentioned but no luck. Any one have any input on how i could search for a trustworthy handyman to build a tech cage?

A tegu cage not a tech cage lol.
