Pine is only bad in raw form, as in shavings. Plywood and dimensional lumber has been heat treated and the essential oils that cause respiratory distress has been eliminated by this process. The biggest thing I would say to improve this build would have been to make the dirt box deeper and use real dirt.
The issue is eliminated by sealing the wood. You can safely use pine or cedar for reptile enclosures if the interior is fully sealed, which you want to do anyway with any wood for water resistance.
How much did this cost total, without filling the inside? Just for the wood, the sealant and the hinges? I know you said 37 dollars, but I'm assuming that was only 1 piece of the plywood.
A 4x8 sheet of 3/4" is $36 (makes back,sides, top and bottom), the front piece 2x4 sheet of 1/2" was $13, gal of drylok is $35, Box of deck screws is $8, Plexi was $22 for two sheets, Door frame wood was about $13, hinges were $8, door handles were $6, light fixtures (ceramic) $3 each, extension cords are $2 each,
The enclosure is 4x2x2. The back is 4x2, the top and bottom are 4x2. The sides are 2x23.25. The sides are smaller to accommodate for the back and sides being on top of the bottom.
@@RoadSpawn thanks so they can do close to no vent holes the reason I ask I'm building right as we speak am thankful for the quick reply but I'm stick on a larger two vents one on each side or two smalls on each side
This is a much simpler design than other builds I've seen on the tube. Excellent
great video friends

Good build but you messed up with the wood. You never use pine for reptiles because it is poisonous to them.
Would it make a difference because he dry locked the interior anyhow.

Very practical. Thank you. Did you use just screws for the structure or did you use glue too?
How much did it all cost
Can you put the dimensions on there for us
Hi what did you use to seal the wood so that the humidity wouldn't damage the wood?
Jeremiah Moore he used dry lock to seal it from humidity so it dont damage the wood
Why not just make an 8x4x4 for the babies?
For the doors did you use plexiglass or just glass?
Plexiglass, it's a lot more model-able and easier to work with
Are you going to be building a larger cage for the adults? They need at least 8x4x4 for one tegu.
Listen to the video. He says it within the first 10 seconds.

Why you did show us when you cut the opening.then going to say ( I jUsT c Ut tHe OpEnInG iT wAs PrEtTy EaSy) how do we know we didn’t see it.
How did you put the lights in ????
What type of tools. Like we’re is the help anyone can drill wood together
Seriously? You don't know how to cut wood?
@@callme_freshhh814 . Apparently not everyone.
he wants action already!
@RoadSpawn how did you do the doors?
Thanks! Great help!
What kind of paint did you use?
where did you get your blue tegus from?
Wow
@RoadSpawn - I'm building my cage this weekend and I wanted to reach out about what size wood did you use for the door's? 1'x2' or 1'x3'?
Did.....did you find out?
@@largemonkey1895 no, but I think I used 1' x 2'; it was around 3 years ago.
How many pieces of plywood did you use ????
I used 1 (4x8) sheet.
@@RoadSpawn what were the dimensions for it again
The enclosure was 4x2x2.
@@RoadSpawn so the 2 side pieces were 2×2 and the back piece was was 4×2 and the front was also 4×2
@@RoadSpawn could you please tell me the dimensions of the two sides, the top, bottom, back and front?
What's the measurement of the wood
The enclosure is 4x2x2. I used 4x8 sheets of plywood.
Could you please tell me the dimensions of all six sides?
What exactly are the dimensions that you cut for all six sides?
The enclosure is 4x2x2. The back is 4x2, the top and bottom are 4x2. The sides are 2x23.25. The sides are smaller to accommodate for the back and sides being on top of the bottom.
The front is added on after the sides and top/bottom are flush.
@@RoadSpawn thanks a lot for the response
My tegu needs a 8x3x3
It's the same process just on a larger scale.
No ventalion??
You don't need large vent holes. The door gaps provide enough as well as every time you open the doors.
@@RoadSpawn thanks so they can do close to no vent holes the reason I ask I'm building right as we speak am thankful for the quick reply but I'm stick on a larger two vents one on each side or two smalls on each side
I would not bother with the vent holes.
can you do a better tutorial
ARS Vlogz . No.
to small for adult
he said that it's only temporary in the beginning.
