Just finished the cage of my buddy. Builded with wood and glass, and filled with rocks, some wood stick and artificial plants... i got him 3 days ago and decided to build a natural enviroment to him to enjoy. All natural rocks with natural shapes... I think i will put some natural plants as well in the upcoming days.
I also ordered a bulk lamp for basking and night light (blue), a buffalo skull, and more natural food and water dishes... when it arrives i will update with new photos.

The dimensions of the cage is 110 x 50 x 40 (cm) or 43.3 x 19.7 x 15.7 (inches).

He seems to like the place :)

Nice job, but how are these rocks secured? I'd also be concerned with him swallowing some of the smaller rocks and getting impacted. Does he have any heat source at the moment? What's the temperature in the "hot" area? Does he have a moist hide? How many hides total? Lastly, is there any kind of sealant on the wood? Moisture from feces and the water bowl can get inside the wood and rot it. It can also lead to bacterial/fungal growth.
I would also find that rather hard to clean. Maybe get tiles for the floor instead of the smaller rocks? I love the arrangement of the larger rocks creating the hides and "shelves", so definitely keep that (as long as they are secured).
