ignore the post above, after looking at animals plastics its all the same price but done better by animal plastics. @Tom since you have one of these that you made what accessories would you tell me too add to this cage that they offer https://apcages.com/collections/terrestrial-cages/products/t08-48l-x-24w-x-12h you seem too have your lights built inside but they don't have that would I get a screen? or just cut a hole in it myself and run the cord through it and raise it up to the top

You need one at least 18" tall, and the lights need to be inside. You can have them mount a fixture for you. Having the lights outside defeats the whole purpose of a closed chamber.

I like them:
white
with a 6 inch litter dam
sliding glass doors
an incandescent fixture
18 or 24 inches tall
with a center support if that is an option on whatever one you are getting

I mount my own LED and florescent fixtures. I recommend heating it with a radiant heat panel from reptile basics.
