Re: Final burm viv

Another small update :

I placed 2 thermostats, 1 for the cold side and one for the warm side. Both will have a RHP connected to them.





Under them will be the slider for the glass doors :


And I placed a 'little' branch in there for a moment, just for fun


Still in doubt on how to do the water part... I wanted to make a little pond surrounded with rocks and including a waterfall (all with styrofoam), but not sure it will be the best option regarding to hygiene and cleaning...

Re: Final burm viv

Very nice! Plenty of room, and well-built.

Re: Final burm viv

Hello Boss you alright. More complements comming your way the New cage looks awsome! I have a yellow anaconda. Only had her a couple of months but growing fast and will get pretty big as shes supposed to be female (need to get her sexed again when a bit bigger though) It's good to get an idea of what can be achieved if your willing to put the time in on a self build! I'm in a privately rented property though and need more space!
