This is a 250x120x120 cage i made by marine wood for my new monitor for the next two years.
I bought her/him in March from Germany and now she/he is 3 months old and eating very well.

Cheers
Christos

i like the size, but not the interior. i don´t look very "natur" like . i think most of the thinks you got there in will get brooken very fast. and you should also use more and better light systems like hql, hqi, jbl uv spots or something like that do , because right now it is to dark, in my opinion, for a monitor. i also thik that the spot are to far away to get the right temperatur at the spottingpoints. regards martin

DeanThorpe:There will be 4 glass doors open like a window style.

Martin:Basking temps are 55C-60C.I have another light that i might use if i notice any difference from this method.
Also i will add some thick logs in.

Cheers

Looks great, Christos! Plenty of stimulation there too. I like what you've done with the hide boxes!

a okay, then the temperatures are perfect. i was only thinking about the spots i´m using, and for them, it would be to much space between the spot and the basking area.
