So, as I mentioned in another section, I was finally able to get one of my all time favorite snakes, a red tail. He is in a temp enclosure, but I am making him a much better one!

This is the first days work. What you see is the floor. I am going to insulate the bottom, before adding the actual flooring. The wood will be polyurethane sealed, and then I have some left over laminate wood flooring from a house remodel that will be going in as well.

The window I got courtesy of Craigslist for free. The enclosure is going to be 5 feet wide, just shy of 3 feet deep and about 2.5 feet tall.

Planning in getting the walls done tomorrow after I get done with the job.

Well, went out to d some work today, and not only where all my tools stolen, but my entire workshop trashed. So, 3 hours of talking to the police and nothing they can do...

So the build is on hold, or really canceled. I've got a buddy that builds PVC enclosures similar to boaphiles. Ill be picking one up from him here pretty soon.

Well, it's a good this I wasn't there. Luckily I have insurance for a reason, just time to battle them.
