ideas for custom cage

me and my dad are making my chinese water dragon a custom cage, we wanted some ideas that would could do. things he might enjoy things for his health and things that would make it look good, thank you in advance

 

if you build the appropriate reservoirs into the bottom of the enclosure, you can use styrofoam and tiling grout to mold and craft a waterfall down the sides for humidity. I built one for a friend like that and its pretty amazing.

 

I hope you realize to maintain a Chinese Water Dragon as an adult you Need a Cage at Least 8 Ft Long. X 4 Ft High. X 4 Ft Depth. They need plenty of Air Flow and A pond Area to Do Best

 

i know that but he wont reach max. size for a while so for now it wont be that big.

 

Well since Water dragons LOVE the water and are in it for most of the day, definitely make a large enough space for swimming. and you can section off the water to make it half water half land. That will give you most of the humidity you need.

 

I think you got the sides a little mixed up. CWDs are semi arboreal, that 8 foot long should really be 8 foot high.

@leon: Realistically though, it really is a huge cage. I would say 5'-6' long x 3'-4' deep x 6'-8' high is a pretty accurate representation of minimalistic requirements.

 

oh and Eme, you're pretty cute ;]

 

thank you eme and harmonic, and harmonic this isnt a dating site LOL

 

It would probably never have worked out anyway.. She's a CWD, I'm an Iguana.. The stars just aren't in our favor. =[

I aim to impress.

WOW! That jworlds work is awesome.

 

those tanks are huge but very great

 

They are big but I loved the inside deco and used the plants and flower idea for my enclosure.I just wish I could find a good jungle/forest background that isnt either too small or too expensive.

 

What kind of dimensions are you looking at for the time being? A better question might be: how long are you wanting this setup to last him? I know you don't want to build the adult enclosure now, but you want to at least allow for a decent amount of growing room, otherwise you're just wasting time and effort. Anyways, let me know on dimensions and I'll try to dig out some ideas for you.
