First attempt to post pic...here goes nothing!

This is a picture of the enclosure I built for one of my ball pythons. The outside of the cage is still unfinished (have an idea I want to try, will post another pic when it is done)

Thanks! The demensions are 3 x 2 x 2. I made it for one of my ball pythons. I have a few other pics of the inside of it in my gallery, plus a few other pics if anyone is interested.

The cage is made out of MDF. The interior of the cage is covered 100% with waterproof Con-Tact brand backing. All joints are sealed with clear silicone and water tight. You can also seal the MDF with spray on water sealer (does not soak thru and cause any swelling).

The cage is not exactly finished yet. I am trying something new (which I will reveal when it is done).

By the way, I got the idea for using the MDF from this link:
http://www.chondroweb.com/fineGTPs/caging.htm

I have had good luck using this method, and I think it looks better than plywood (what my other cages are made of). Just seems to be a cleaner look, but that is just my opinion.

The bottom cage is for my male het albino retic. It is a 6 ft cage.
