Re: building a boa enclosure.
Hey man, What id you Pay for your Birch Plywood Panels, Im starting a Cage build myself and im having a hard time locating any for less than 50 bucks Per 4x8
Also, Radiant heat panels Are not that Expensive at all when you compare them to the bulb cost and replacement and the initial fixture cost, not to mention they are more cost effective as well, 40 watt RHP will heat the same area you need a 100watt ceramic with ease, and it doesn't dry the air as bad. factor that good ceramic bulbs are costly and do need replacing on occasion and i find them to be a good investment If you go with a floor Lining, I recommend Vinyl over corrugated plastic, as the corrugated plastic seems like it would be more difficult to Clean
Also, Instead of those pucks, You should Order some LED light Stripping, and the asseble yourself fixture, I got enough of em to put to LED bars in 5 cages for like 125$ got a low light red strip for night time, and a "Soft Glow" strip for daytime lighting, Im debating getting a timer for them as well, right now ive got a wireless remote for em, Whats really cool is that they have bars for em that fit in the corner from the back and top and can run the full length of the cage
Also if you are using birch ply, i highly recommend going for a natural finish because IMO birch has one of the prettiest grains of the common hardwoods
