Idiots guide to DIY cages?

I have so many animals its getting a little expensive to buy caging for them…not that I begrudge them the money but I find most cages are pretty badly designed and built, and there’s a lot of features I could have done with that are missing. The thing is I’m a total DIY idiot, but I think I could put together a wire or wooden box for an animal. Can any DIY-ers point me in the right direction for sites for making small animal and Reptile Cages? Thanks!

This is a good cage that is fairly easy to make.

I used a mortar mixing pan, instead of the cement mixing pan, and the three foot tall hardware cloth, instead of the two foot tall hardware cloth; so I needed to adjust my measurements slightly.

Here are some more cage plans, but not all of the links work.

I keep my Gopher snake in a 55 gallon plexiglass tank.
