Haha. The best of luck happened to me. i posted an add to buy an ackie monitor tank and i got a reply that blew me away!! XD There was a guy that offered to make me an custom enclosure for 100 bucks out of plywood!!! He send me some pics of some of his made ones and they look impressive. it turned out the next day when he send me his email saying that he a the writer of the ackie monitor section of this months official reptile magazine!!!!He was also a yellow ackie breeder. so far i asked him to sell me an ackie too!!! LOLs. Is this too good to be true?? wood the plywood eventuall rot and cause havok in my basement??? he said he applied some special coating in the enclosure. what kind do you think??? the encloser is going to be 48 times 24 times 24. The only worry is that my parent might let me get the tank!!! Will post pics of the plan.
