Re: Building new enclosure

Re: Building new enclosure
Looks fantastic, Sylphie! Be sure to post more pics with the snakes inside! I'm jealous that stone shops are normal where you live  Those rocks you got are perfect for that background.

Re: Building new enclosure
Thank you! And I'll post a lot of pics for sure, but corns are still settling in, so I don't want to stress them out yet 
As for that stores... they are mostly for buliding companies, but some of them are selling for "normal" peoples too. The one we went to is even having a special section for fish/reptile tanks, and the owner has quite a grasp on what is good and what is bad for specific animals. I'm certain that something similiar is in other countries too, but I can't describe it properly and can't find what it is called in english. It's like stone wholesale? Ehh I'm lacking that part of vocabulary, as I never needed any specific building-related technical words.

Re: Building new enclosure
Love the contrast between her and the background! The enclosure compliments her well She definitely looks at home in there.
By the way, I just noticed the yellows coming in on her cheeks! I love that little quirk that corns have.

Re: Building new enclosure
Well, empty tank was around 100kg(220lb), the stones are around 70kg(154lb)... so it's heavy But that's our display cage so it's okay, when we'll build rack in wardrobe then we'll use expanding foam, so it will be easy to move when needed.
And thank you all for kind words!

Re: Building new enclosure
Pogie, thank you! <3 I would love to build similiar tanks for all my snakes, but like I said it's really heavy and I want to be able to move the tanks if needed. But we're having a smart plan for our future viv rack... We'll see, haha!

Re: Building new enclosure
Wow that is awesome. I love the way the rocks tilt and sit together. A few years ago I had big rocks in one of my tanks and promptly dropped one of the rocks while cleaning and shattered the bottom of the tank, what a fail.
Maybe I can do something like that for Domino when I get to her tank.
Someone has a 200 gallon for sale on craigslist for 50 bucks. I considered buying it but it weights at least a hundred pounds or more, too much for me to move.
