V. cummingi enclosure

JPLReptiles · 10-20-11, 07:39 PM

Thought some of you all may enjoy this as well. Just some pics of the build at this time. Getting close to finishing the enclosure. It measures 14' L X 6' W X 6' H. It will house 1.2 V. cummingi. This is a dream coming true! These aren't your average w.c. indo smuggled animals either. These are c.b. about 7 generations. These are workable and in time I hope to be able to handle them freely. Once the animals arrive I'll put up pics of them as well. Till then...

forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think I saw this project on another forum, Kingsnake maybe??

Looking awesome.

That looks so nice! Your monitors will be overjoyed :P Can't wait til I can do something like that.

It's on a few forums. I like to spread out my posts sometimes because many people only go to certain forums...

It's huge! I bet it'll look great when it's all done. Can't wait to see the final product

How are you going to move that into your house? I see it's in the garage.

JPLReptiles · 10-21-11, 03:17 PM

It will remain in the garage with all my other reptiles. I'm in south Florida, temps are nice!

That is one awesome build. I would love to build a huge tank/room once I get my Ackies. Keep the pics coming. I would love to see it finished.

I'm jealous of you both.

in florida? thought the largest exotic snakes were illegal to keep now because people are afraid of them becoming invasive species should they escape.

This is still being debated in Florida. The issue lies primarily in South Florida because of it's proximity to the Everglades and the danger large snakes pose to endangered species in the Florida Keys. There are some illegal snakes, such as the native Florida pine snake and other native species. HOWEVER, as of right now, it is legal to own retics, burms, etc. But,
