Enclosure ideas/questions
Im doing some brain storming on an enclosure I want to do but need some advice please.
-I want to do this enclosure using wood. Are there certain types of wood that I should stay away from?
-I would imagine that this wood needs to be sealed to prevent rot and so forth. Are there sealants that I need to stay away from?
-I know that this might get some folks upset (dont mean to start a fight here), I want to house two ball pythons (eventually) in the same enclosure. Im thinking that the enclosure will be approx. 6ft in length, 3ft in width and about 1.5ft in height. All of these measurments are subject to change. The question is how do you heat this type of space? For heating pads, I was wondering if I need more than one? Is one sufficient for more than one snake? I had a heating pad that was placed underneath my old glass tank...but for wood, do you place the heat pad underneath also? Or does it get placed inside under the substrate?
-The enclosure will have a glass front. I was thinking about cutting a hole slighty smaller than the diameter of the heat lamp (w/ceramic bulb) in the top on the same end and above the heat pad. Is this good or bad?
I will have more questions later Im sure so I really appreciate all input.
