Exo-Terra All Glass Cage Weight?

[Lizardz]

I was thinking about getting a 24"x24" board and making a shelve in the corner using Shelving brackets like this here.

Does anyone know around how much a Exo-Terra All Glass cage weights?

Depends on the size of the exo-terra. Also depends on what you use for substrate, cage furniture, etc. They weigh a lot more when they're full than when they're empty. As with all glass enclosures, they're fairly heavy. I'm sure you could make a shelf to hold one though. But you might want some brackets that are a bit more heavy duty and you'll want to make sure to screw them directly into studs and not just dry wall.

I forgot to mention the size:
18"x18"x24"
Just a natural setup for Mourning gecko's
Some sticks, rocks, plants and Eco Earth substrate

I will build the shelve 24" wide so I should be able to find 2 studs to screw into.
Just trying to get a idea weight so I can check the specs on the brackets used. I'm thinking around 50 pounds?

Also going to try and make a safety harness, encase there is a earthquake the cage will not crash to the ground.

I would sure the brackets you are using will hold 100+ pounds so you don't have to worry about weight. I have a couple of those 18x18x24" that i can barely lift and I don't have all that much substrate and cage furniture in it.

I got it, it works great. Just have to get the right bolts and it will hold well mounted into the studs on the wall. The Terrarium habitat isn't finished yet, but it's mounted and ready.
Here's a image of what it looks like.

Good job...looks good. What about putting some quarter round or something along the edges to keep it from being able to slide off if someone accidentally pushes on it or something?
