THat's a pretty cool enclosure there...did you build it yourself? How are you getting light to the bottom enclosure?

Looks like something I might want to build...what are the dimensions?

Yeah I built it myself.I haven't finished the top yet though.The heat lamp should be enclosed like the bottom tank.It's dimensions are 36 x 18 x 18.

Sand is the easiest substrate to use.I wouldn't say it's the best for the Uro.But washed play sand finely screened would be the best to use.Some people use calci-sand but it's not suited for Uros.They don't require any additional calcium so eating it daily would throw their diet off balance.

That's awesome Mike. I'm thinking about building a couple cages myself...thanks for the tips. I am thinking about building two 4' x 3' x 2' cages and have a tray that pulls out for easy cleaning.

How did you mount the lights within the top of the cage?

i have my light off to one side is this ok,i see you have it in the center
