thanks my friend Jay helped me build it, along with bits of help from my 9 year old niece. she helped holding stuff for me to hammer and cut.. it took about a week to make, and only cost about 150+ to make. it is well worth it.. 6x3x2 i cant wait for it to be "home" for her/them

very nice, I got really lucky i got my enclosure 6X3x2 from the classifieds it was a guy that bought one from a pet store than never used it. the same one was 350 at the store near my house he sold it for 60 bucks he needed someone to just take it away he said in the ad if you come today 60 need to get rid of enclosure moving this weekend. I went and got it that night, used all the extra cash to buy bulbs 1 basking and 1 night cermaic for thermal heat at night and bought electronic misting system power strip with timer all light fixtures including uv 48 inch and bulb uv 10.0 all mulch and moss for hide box and all feeding and water dishes. so it was like buy the enclosure get the rest free
