Well, my wife cats thinks that lizards are food. My son previously had a western fence lizard that escaped many run in with the cat. He would get on top of the cage and push the screen in. My son was pretty good at keeping the door to his room closed but he is only 10 and forgets. Well the one day that he forgot, yup, the cat finally won its battle with the lizard. My son was devastated because he knew it was completely his fault and to my suprise was not mad at the cat at all. I talked to him and let him know that I would do something for the cage so it would not happen to the next one. Well, for christmas I got him a gift card to PK and he bought a Leopard Gecko and this is what I made for him, still has to be painted but don't think the cat will be getting in the cage anymore.

ok, your hired:p

What was cost list and time spent?
Not just upselling, but Leopard Geckos are social animals, think about getting a friend

Total was around $25, 3 pine 1 x 8s 6ft long, hinge kit, and knob. I spent about 5 hrs and still have a couple left but now is just the fine work, fine sanding and painting. He wants to get a male but the only ones left were females so that is soon to come.
