New Enclosure *PICS*
Hey everyone,
I just finished my new enclosure for my snakes. It will house 3 snakes in each of their diff. enclosures. I currently have 1.1 JCP and 0.1 Anery Corn.
Each enclosure is 3'L x 2'D x 1.5'H. I have an 11"x18" UTH under each and secure fluorescent lighting in each. Only the top two are being used now as the corn is in a terrarium setup for now.
I think it looks pretty good. Any advice or tips?

The inside is sealed with polyurethane and the corners are filled with silicone. I also put silicone between each of the boards before I screwed them together.

Those are some great looking cages!  Looks like the lights are exposed though?

Linds, there is a clear plastic guard on each one, nothing warmer than room temp, I got each light at Walmart for only $6.96 and wired it right through the top so no wire is exposed

Beautiful enclosure, very nice. You're snakes will love it!
I would like to build something similar, what's stopping me is the sliding doors, what do you use and how do you do it?
Again, beautiful.

Very nice work. I could sit and stare at handywork like that for hours. The herps inside are likewise a bonus!!

Wizwise-
The sliding door track is from Home Depot ( 6' for under $8) and the glass is from an old window in my fraternity. A local glass shop cut it for $10. They told me that each piece (12"x16") would only cost $3.75 anyways so not a bad deal
RedDragon-
I used plywood with many coats of urethane (too many hours!!!- but ended up being worth it!) and then trimme the outside (dark wood parts) with cedar because I thought that the dust from cedar is poisonous, but it is the fumes. So then I put pine inside with even more urethane so that no cedar is exposed on the inside.
Each enclosure is 36"x24"x15"
I plan on building another one of these but will have learned from my mistakes and this one will only hold two enclosures, the bottom third of it will be for storage as well as a misting system as my plans call for a pair of Brazilian Rainbow Boas next! I just need to find the cash to fund it!

Wow, that sounded like a TON of work. Well, mistakes are to be made before perfection is the result. I'm sure that if I started building enclosures I'd be bound to hit a few bumps along the way. I really like the way the enclosures look, and I'm sure your snakes are quite happy in there.
