Could Use Some Advice Please

Hey everyone. First let me say I learn something everyday for all of you. Currently I’m an Animal rehabber in SW OK. Unfortunately like with all animals there has been a rise in injured animals recently. Now for what I need help with can anyone give me a break down or draw out an enclosure for me? I know this sounds pitiful but computers are not my specialty and I need a print so I can estimate the supplies so I can go purchase and begin this project. The enclosure will be for a 13in. Chinese Water Dragon so I want to make it 76” wide x 38” Deep x 6ft high. That’s the area that I have made specifically for this. I will be putting rollers on it so I can move it easily for cleaning. I plan on making it somewhat similar to Meki’s enclosure. So any help peeps would help greatly advice anything. Appreciate the share of knowledge

I'm sure someone here has sketched something out at some point. I would say look to spend around $300. Get creative with finding things taht aren't normally used. Old cabinet doors, etc.. Too bad wardrobes are made of cedar, I always thought a big one would make a super water dragon enclosure.

Ya i thought the same thing. Like using a pantry cabinet thing or like you said the wardrobe but unfortunently the wood is cheap lol. I have the botton frame allready set up made out of 2x4's and 4x4's so it will be stable. Debating on what ill use as a pond I want it to cover at least 1/3rd of the bottom of the enclosure.

removable ponds are the easiest. Try a dish washing tub or a rubbermaid container. Put it on the bottom. Make a ramp or pile a few rocks around it so the WD can get it (if its a small WD).

Well the WD is 13 inch's so far. So that's why im going right into building the larger enclosure

well, if you are good at construction, start building 3 walls. Frame up the front and figure out how you want your doors to be.

now im want to give this guy as much room as i can. When putting up the walls i planned on using 3/4 inch plywood. What would be best to block/brace them since i will try to maximize the sheet of plywoods' size the best i can.

i would say a simple 2 x 4 frame would be best. Nice and sturdy.

I'll post a pick of the frame I built this evening when I get home. It's basically a wood frame about the size of a twin size bed. My wife and I used to take in foster kids and or home was also a safe haven so I had to have beds ready at all time. By all means it;'s not pretty but I hate to see stuff go to waste and it also will help my wallet lol.

Nothing wrong with givng an old peice of furniture new life as an enclosure. Many people do it. I am forever driving down the road on "big trash day" and looking at things that might make a nice enclosure.
My long suffering wife just rolls her eyes!
Where in Ok are you?
