Big enclosure build
Hi guy's this is my new enclosure im currently building for my scrubbies. Its dimensions are 2m high x 2m wide x 1.4m deep. I have made it in two halfs so it will still fit through door ways, to make it one solid piece i have put a small bit of pine which one half slides over. Then all you have to do is put 8 screws back in and its all solid and air tight again. I have been contemplating on wether or not to make another section to put inthe middle to make it 2.1m deep. Also i will be putting rails along the roof which a 60 litre tub will slide into to make a hide that is easily removed to clean.
The glass will be 8mm thick safety glass with a one way tint on it so the snakes dont get to disturbed as this tank will be going in my living room.
The plan is to put a pond and water fall in this one so the humidity will be easily controlled and the snakes can have a bit of a swim.
As you can see there is still a lot of work to go, but im up to the part i hate the most which is painting. I will be painting this tank black as the black will really make the lighter markings on my scrubs pop with the jungle theme i will doing in there.
This build has been reasonably cheap so far and the dearest part will be the decorating i will be putting in there. I would hate to think what it would cost to buy a tank of this size, but for anyone who has bigger species i feel this is a necessity to have some decent room to roam.
Any way i will be updating this thread as i go with pics and what not.
Here is some pics to give you an idea of just how big the tank really is.
