urgent help!!! building a cage for my leo!

[thepianoguy]

so after i see HOW active my leo can be, i decided i shall build a CHEAP DIY cage for this little guy, it would be made out of foams, and bioactive, biotope.

so then i have several questions! my foam is NOT thick at all, about 5mm and i do NOT have a sillicone yet...

can i use the nails instead of silicone? can the leo climb out of the cage?(note i am not providing any cover) but this guy dont like to climb, thanks so much

Foam may not hold up very well, especially if you're doing bio and want plants, you can always make one out of plexiglass or buy a storage tub and use that. A lot of people build cages out of melamine.

unfortunately, my dad wont allow me to do that...(dame lame again!)

so the problem is, the foam bends, how am i suppose to fix that?

Support it with wood, Plexiglas or another hard surface. Unfortunately with cage building, you have to use those materials.
