Hi,

Me and my boyfriend live in the Netherlands. We have a group of Caiman lizards who we keep with a couple of Sailfin dragons (Hydrosaurus weberi).
Here some pictures of the caiman lizards and sailfin dragons and the enclosure they are in now:

We want to make a bigger enclosure for a very big group of caiman lizards. The enclosure will be 18ft high at the bottom 12x18ft and in top 9x9ft.

This is what you see now if you stand on the bottom of the enclosure and look up.

One side of the wall 9ft from the top.

We make a removable roof with plastic foil with 80% transmission of uvb from outside. On hot days we push a button and the roof will roll aside and the caiman lizards will have 100% uv.

Thank you!
We just make it up. We look at what we think is nice and make it like we think it would be made. The vines on the walls we discoverd our selfs how to make it.

Thanks. Its less expencive then you think. Its just a massive amount of work. Realy hard work.
The last 2 weeks we did a lot of work that you can not realy see. So updates have to wait a little longer.

This is also the 3ft deep part where you can look trought the tunnel to the other side where its 4ft deep.
We hoop to finish the floorheating in the bottom of the pond this weekend.
