Working on a new design for my hypo hogg boa enclosure, modified a bit from the last one I built. Heres a quick mockup
Adding a heated shelf in this time, and possibly some PVC climbing tubes, I dont think I am going to make this enclosure bioactive, considering the size of a hypo hogg I dont think it will be particularly beneficial...but i'll deciede that later on, if not, I'm going to add some PVC climbing beams
My last one had a door which fitted inside the enclosure walls, on this one the door will rest against the wall and ceiling edge - much as I would like the door to fit inside, its impossible to cut the plastic accurately enough without computer aided machining - and laser cutting PVC is insanely expensive due to the amount of acid produced
This one will have a frosted false ceiling, as opposed to clear polycarbonate twinwall
The front-top beam will be reinforced with aluminium to prevent bowing when stacked
specs:
16mm PVCX (free from Solvents, Plasticizers and heavy metals)
5mm Acrylic viewing door
Heated Shelf (one side, built in heat cord, @35C)
Heated base (one side, @30C)
Built in 6K daylight and Red nightlight LEDs
Suspended false ceiling
Nylon Detachable Hinges
Nylon Wingnut locks
Habistat Digital thermostat(s)
Any thoughts and suggestions welcome!
Waiting for a final quote on materials, but expecting to have it complete before the end of November
