Here are a couple old pics of mine:
I'm making a few changes now but it is essentially the same.

Very nice room Ron, my wife still makes me keep my snakes in the garage. Hopefully before this month is up I can finish setting up some more Melamine 4X4's along with a few neo and yearling rubbermaid racks on the other wall.

Thanks!
They work great as long as you seal all the edges and clean and protect them. I've had water bowls spill overnight and no rotting or peeling so far. I've used Melamine for years without any problems, but like I said you have to do some minor upkeep and clean. Not too mention they are cheap compared to plastic, for the price of one 4X4 vision delivered, I built 3 4X4's with money to spare for heat tape, lighting and astroturf. Don't get me wrong, if money is no object I would deffinetly go for plastic any day of the week.

Great cages ssscales! I like the ventilation at the back of each cage, that's a good idea.

Thanks, pegboard is cheap too, $10.00 for a 8X4. When I built them I thought holding humidity would be a problem. But in the garage, they hold humidity between 60-65 depending on time of year here in FL. When shedding or if I need higher humidity, I usually either place the water bowl or a rubbermaid with moist sphagnum moss in the middle of the enclosure closer to the hot spot as you can see in the last pic. This raises humidity to about 75-80, if I need or feel they need a little extra, I'll place it closer to the hot spot or mist once a day.

I'm trying to finish up some rubbermaid baby and yearling racks next week. Hopefully 2005 will be a good year for all!

ssscales, where in South Florida are you? I am in West Palm and looking to build some cages (either plywood with marine paint or melamine). Would love to get some details on what you used and approx cost. Thanks!
Jamie

Hi Jaime, I'm in Weston FL.
I used melamine and the cost for a three 4X2 unit was about $300 total. The only cutting I had was the substrate dams. It took me about 6 or 8 hrs to build that includes taking a break here and there for lunch and beer!
EVERYTHING you need is at Home Depot or Lowes except for the door guides. They had to order these and wanted $23.00 a piece! I order these thru (Rockler woodworking and hardware), cost was $15.00 for a set shipped.
PM me with any questions you may have. I'm working on a baby and yearling rack next week.
Trust me, you can build this stuff with a hammer, drill and a few other tools you probably have around the house as is.
