DIY green tree python enclosure

Having read many topics about green tree pythons enclosure design, I decided give it a try as Blade's cage is become too small for him.

I found a wooden box that comes with tools that my work place's order, the box seems to be a good start to me. So I add vent holes and put door on the box.



I bought a storage bin from can-tire, it fit to the box nicely, so I use it as a insert, when I clean one box, I can slide another one into the box easily.



I use bottle lid to hold the perches. these perches are from my Japanese meaple tree. The black tube that you can see in the box is where the thermostat
temp sensor coming out, I don't want any wire hanging in the enclosure.



I don't Want to use radian panel for a small size enclosure, so I use 11" flexwatt for side and bottom heat.



Slide the storage bin into the wooden box and it is done.



Blade seems to enjoy the new cage alot.



A close up pic of Blade, he still has a blue nose and most of the belly is lite blue



The cage didn't cost me more than $20 but because I am not a smart person, so this took me quite a while to have it finished, all wooden surface have been sealed with weldborn which I soon found out something can be done easier. The polycarbonate is a found outside a sign making company but took me quite a hard work to cut into length. Since this display style cage is my first shot and is very heavy, I am now starting a plan to build another big one, use the same concept because double layer keep heat really well.

Thanks for looking
