well guys i built my tank for my caiman today just need to paint it and fill it with sand and a tote to hold water in it.....my previous plan with the 60g pond i bought didnt work....so i'm going to get some shallow totes for him to bath in.....

dimensions:
8ft long
3ft wide
2ft tall

total building supplies cost me $75 bucks
10 premium 2x4's 8 foot long
2 sheet of 24" high by 48" long plexi glass sheets
4 sheets of 1/2" particle board 4ft by 8ft(free)

will post pics soon
 
Sounds cool. Make sure he can't bust through the plexi though.
 
You have to show pictures when you are done, Rock-On!!:headbang2
 
partially done

just got done painting and sealing the seams so no sand falls through...little teaser
