Progress on the new enclosure...

[elizabeth]

Here are some photos from the start of my new iggy enclosure that Patrick is building in my basement...

It measures out to be about 9' x 12'... Almost all the inside walls are complete, we put up a clear plastic on the ceiling to help keep in the humidity, there is one large plexi window and the screen door....

I have the shelving for their basking shelves etc down the road I will invest in some indoor outdoor carpeting for now I just have an old area rug in there... Patrick suggested a heater for down there since it gets cooler downstairs so I picked that up and then I have my two warm mist humidifiers so those help with the lights to keep their temps up where they like them...

Anyway just wanted to share the progress that is being made...

here are some shots of the start of the frame work...




The first wall is up!!







Almost all the inner walls are up and the window and door are in!!









Will post more as it gets completed!!

Patrick is doing a wonderful job on this enclosure and Denise is his right hand woman!!

Well I hope to Get up there next week to get the Inside lighting and Ramps in there and maybe work on the outside walls

[elizabeth]

Well the pain is on the walls the shelves have been hung a few more supports will be added and then the lights will be hung, but over all except for clean up the interior of my new enclosure is complete... Thank you so much Patrick and Denise for all the driving and hard work you have done on my enclosure...

Now to get my iggys back home where they belong... I hope to be moving back into our home by weeks end... The new carpet is in now all that is left is to have the windows go in this week and we will be all set... Oh and hoping the guys move my china hutch back out of the bathroom!!


Here is some trellis work that is hung on one wall for climbing...

I am so glad things are starting to come together. It was reaaly great that Patrick and Denise were able to help you. They really are nice people. I know you will be happy to have all your whole family back together--humans and herps.

Good Luck & Take Care

:(The painting and the shelves looks Great Elizabeth! Can't wait to see it in person with iggys in it..Good Luck!!!
Your very welcome for the help even though I didn't do much!!

WOW! That really looks great. I really love the idea of the trellis. Having the plastic on the ceiling will really help with the humidity;maybe some plastic wire mesh over that just in case they try to get up in your rafters. With these guys you never know. (where there's a will they will find a way.) Can't wait to see the finished product with the iggies in it.

Great job Patrick and Denise.

hmmmm I picked up some mesh that is a really good idea to cover the plastic with it have to drag out the staple gun again!!

I am heading down tonight to pick up my little green babies I can't wait!!

Oh wow, it looks like its coming along great! I can't wait to see the final product!

That pic of Emma in the window scared me, lol, cause you see a pic of the window first and then the next pic she is staring at you through it, kinda scared me, haha!

Anyways, yeah, it looks great! Great job Patrick!!
