DIY question

[Dom3rd]

Has anyone ever converted a Dresser into a Leo cage? I have seen it done for Beardies and snakes but i was wonderin if anyone on here ever did it for there Leo's? And if you have could you post a picture.

no. but i think it's a really good idea. i posted a thread a while ago on a webpage i found. where one was created for a beardie. and it had all of the instructions and how to do it and stuff. I just don't have time/space for a project like that,

I have never seen it done for a leo but it would probably be interesting. I converted a bottom of an entertainment center into a cage for my beardie.

I am going to start working on one come the new year.....*SSSHHHHH* don't tell hubby, he doesn't know yet lol But yes I'm going to start working on one, setting it up basically like the beardies set up but adapted for leos.

That's friggin genius. Especially if you have a rear projection TV - it's own heat source. I'm so going to do this. Do you have pics?

 

[Jenn]

sure do.
the first pic is what it orgnally looked like, then we converted the bottom and used it as an entertanment center which I dont have a pic of, then we downsized so I just cut the top part off.

this s what it originally looked like


it is made from oak, it has plexi-glass on the doors and 8 vent holes on each side and the back is about a foot in a half from going all the way up for cleaning reasons. it is also on wheels so I can pull it out since it is next to my bed.

This is the dresser that i would be converting i am just trying to figure out how i want to do it

:main_yes:and i thought thats what most people did. thats all i have been doing for my leopard geckos.

 

[Dom3rd]

do you have any pictures of what you have done?

 

[LizMarie]

umm you have space for 6cages.. it'd be cool if you could take the fronts of the drawers out and put plexiglass to see the geckos. But i don't know how realistic that would be

 

[Dom3rd]

I am going to make it into one big cage with 3 levels

That's gonna look incredible. If I was around, I'd totally help. I love this DIY stuff, especially creating the naturalistic stuff.
