my new mangrove monitor enclosure

IT is 4x2x4 oak ply sealed with non toxic shellac. I put an access panel on the front to easily take the tub out to change water without the monitor escaping.(fast buggers) I put plastic chicken mesh on the walls for climbing. Steamed the branches to rid them of critters. There is a substrate dam spartating the water tub area from the substrate area. About 6 inches of cypress mulch. a 125 watt heat bulb to keep things toasty in there. He seems to love it. He climbs all over it and swims in the tub.

You are a much better carpenter than me. Where did you get the plastic chicken wire?

Thank you. I got it at Lowes or Home Depot. I cant remember which. I believe Lowes though. I have since removed it because it was stapled on and difficult to clean. But I did re-install it with some screws with fender washers so it is removable for better cleaning.

Gorgeous enclosure! I'm sure he's loving it.

Why does it seem like those two stores are always right next to each other?

Great looking enclosure, and monitor!!!

Thank you. He loves climbing all over it and usually hides under his water tub when he is sleeping. He seems to enjoy it very much. The Lowes and the Home depot by me are actually right behind each other.

Very nice enclosure Neil
