So far we have made the trip and picked up the material ourselves but the shipping rates are very reasonable. I think they were quoting about $50 to deliver 10 sheets. I'm about two hours from their location.

Make sure you post a build thread!

Damn, I wish I still lived in Florida. I'm from boynton beach but I'm in North Carolina now. I'm going to look and see if there is a supplier close to me. If not ill either order it or ask my uncle to scoop it up for me when he comes up next(or better go visit FL myself, and spen sometime in the Everglades).

I definitely will post a build thread; just don't expect anything to this caliber unless I can find some help(hint hint for those in NC, I'll buy beer and steak).

We haven't purchased from Piedmont but they did give me some decent quotes on materials.

Piedmont Plastics - Plastic Sheet, Plastic Rod, Plastic Tubing - Quote today!

They have locations in NC.

Thanks Terranaut!

Wow! very nice! Excellent work!

Here it is. It's still a little dusty. A good cleaning and it is ready for some snakes.

This has been fun. I think I enjoy building the cages almost as much as keeping the snakes. I hope I didn't bore anyone with this, not everyone is interested in building their own cages.

hard to be bored with that end product. I wish I had that kind of talent. Great enclosure

Great job.

Finally! The finished cage in place and occupied. My grandson is very proud of his growing collection. Not the best picture, but its worth sharing.

Looks great, I can't wait to give it a go for myself. Tax return is right around the corner I'm excited to start my own. Thanks for the info on a supplier in my area really helpful.
