Does anyone have cage plans/ diagrams up to give design ideas. I have been fortunate enough to have ten Gu's but the room they lived in is now being invaded by an intrusive species called sister in law and i need to build an enclosure in the worse way. or be forced to put my sister in law up for sale.
So if anyone can shoot some plans onto the forum I would GREATLY appreciate it . Plus my Gu's think she is scary looking

I had a plan to make stacked enclosures but the would not have the digging space. Cost affective to because die use 2x4s cut in half to make "2x2" but they arnt really 2x2. 10 gus is allot of stacks though. Idk if it helps but its what i plan on doing.

How much space do you have? Is there a budget for the build? Do you need 10 enclosures?

PM me the dimensions of the cage you want. Will it be top opening or front opening or both? How wide is your doorway? Can it be in 2 pieces to fit in your door? Must it be stackable? Will it be outdoors in nice weather? Is wood OK? Will you be willing to trade your sister in law for the cage? is she hot? Hotness = fancier cage. I will figure out a cut list to waste as little wood as possible. I made a nice indoor/outdoor enclosure for my baby extreme. It is 3x6ft and I made it look like a deck box storage type thing so neighbors will not think I have an animal enclosure. It will be used till I build the full outdoor enclosure, and then as a hibernation enclosure. Pics coming soon. I'll give you a hand provided that I am supplied with quality beer while working.

I saw a guy on YouTube who made a big indoor pen for all his tegus and then made cubbies for the tegus to sleep in.
