Is there a rule for this?
Um OK. I've been looking through the deep dark recesses of the internet and can't find enough information for this. If I were to build a plywood enclosure, is there any way of telling if the wood is thick enough to hold my captive? I'm planning on making an 8'x2'x5' enclosure for a rat snake, and when I was at Lowes today peeking around at what they had, I realized I had no idea of the thickness I need. I don't want it to be too thin that it isn't structurally supported or, worse yet, easy for a large snake to manipulate, but I don't want it to be too thick that I'm wasting money. Is there a rule of thumb that I'm missing?
