Building new enclosure

Well, we started rebuild our tank in the wall. The dimensions are 150x30x60hcm (59x11x24h inch)... and here are the pics in-progress.

First we tried how to arrange the stones without fastening it.





Then we placed the tank back in the wall and started to fix the stones to the glass with expanding foam. Ofc there was some rearranging the original plan.

Re: Building new enclosure

Then we added some small stones to hide the holes and expadning foam. They are fixed with silicone.



And there all stones are finished, the branch is fixed too, but we must add substrate and plants.

Re: Building new enclosure

Looking good Sylphie. Can't wait to see the finished product. Is that a top opening enclosure? If so, how will you have access to the animals?

Re: Building new enclosure

Yeah, it's top opening. And the access is "easy" (for my man, I'm too short and can't reach the bottom of the tank without standing on the chair), from one side of the wall it's extendet so you just take off 1/3 of the lid and can reach in. I can't describe it in a good way but here is the pic:



And thank you! Will post pics as soon as we finish it!

Re: Building new enclosure

That's it for now, but there will be some changes tomorrow. Now we need to sleep

Some plants are in small pots, others (the one in left and the one in right corners) are just in soil, and then there is coro fibre on it.

Re: Building new enclosure

Some of our corn snakes. Or that's the plan, we want to build 5 enclosures in one of our wardrobes and then all the corns will go there, so this is going to be their home for month or two. Adn then my man is planning to have a bunch of garter snakes, so they will be there... or maybe I will find a pair of japanese rat snakes? Will see

Re: Building new enclosure

Looks great, I tend to use more branches than rocks in my enclosures. More climbing options for the snakes (not sure if they really need so many, lol) but doesn't look as appealing to the eye as the rocks.

Re: Building new enclosure

toddnbecka, thank you! And I prefer more branches too, I guess we will add more when we find nice ones.
