Franks enclosures are amazing.

Re: Put up or shut up.
Wait... Why did I just post a reply here instead of my thread? 0.0 I'm going crazy...

Re: Put up or shut up.
Wow, great thread!
What a bunch of nice set ups.
I don't keep snakes anymore, but like looking at others herp rooms and especially home built caging. I have been a DIY guy for years building every thing from enclosures to hides and my own RHP's.
My good friend and I still build cages and are currently re doing a wall of cages for his room.
Hoping this thread continues.

Re: Put up or shut up.
I am still waiting to see more breeders post some pictures. Got a lot of them on here that what to give advice or tell people what they are doing wrong with their set up, but don't seem to want to post pictures of theirs. The only reason i could see them not wanting to post pictures is "THEY DON'T PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH".

I am one of those that likes to build things rather than buy. It doesn't always work out but I do always have fun trying!
This was one of those projects that worked out well.
I simply ordered a popular known (but will not name) RHP for about 80.00 shipped, and took it apart to analyze.
I rounded up the parts and was able to duplicate it for about 15.00 per panel. They worked every bit as good or better than the original and IMO provided a much safer home assembled product than what is currently available to the hobbyist (ie heat tape, etc). Safety is always my first priority.
At the time I was looking to need about twenty or more cages heated so it would have been a substantial savings. I ended up getting out of snake keeping at about the time this project was getting underway so I never built more than a few panels.
I took a lot of pictures of the process but it's not the best idea to post them on a public forum.

Do you mean you were able to get the same parts for $15? that's insane the amount of money you can save from doing that.

Why would you not do a DIY thread on this? Unless your going into business why not?

Re: Put up or shut up.
Mikoh, yes I was able to produce the panels at about 15.00 each, but I had to buy a lot of heater element to make it work out.
Terranaut I can share the photobucket album with you if you are interested. I have no plans to build these commercially

I just posted a thread today asking for advice on designing an enclosure, it was recommended to me to use RHP's, they are not cheap! It would benefit me and a lot of people on this forum if there was a thread with pics and instructions on how to DIY.

Re: Put up or shut up.
It wasn't my intention to get Marvel's thread off track!
Copper, I'd be happy to help, just shoot me a pm. Smy, I posted the full size pic of my avatar in the gallery, thanks!
Marvel I'd like to see some of the big operations setups as well, hopefully some will "put up"!
