Looks good. That's a nice bright room you got there. I'd fill it with plants and garters!

That is part of my parents house (I'm building the enclosure there, cause in my apartment I doesn't have the place).

I'm almost done with the epoxy and fibreglass, I'm going to make the last coat of resin this week-end, then lets it dry and polymerized for fews days, maybe more, before testing with water, hoping there will be no leaks ...

[Barak666]

Well, I tested the aquatic part yesterday, and up to now there is no leak. So today I'm going to do one last coat of resin, spray with sand to make it look less artificial. I intend to end it this week-end. I will post a picture of it once finish.

Sorry to keep you waiting. Friday evening I was putting the last touch on it, a small frame around the aquarium glasses to hide a bit of the resin been seen around the glasses, but then my f***ing badluck strike, a small nails bend and touch the front glass at 3mm from the top of it and it broke ... I feel so mad a me. It is impossible to change the glass so I put glass fiber and resin all around the broken part, hoping it will be enough to maintain every thing in place. Once it will have dry I will do another leak test and if there is any I will have to use it for something else than an aquarium. So still have to wait few days to see the finish product.

Sorry to hear about your misshape. Take your time.

While testing the sliding doors, I noticed the gap between them is about ¼", I don't thing a adult might pass trough but what about a young one? Should I put something between the sliding doors to prevent escape (otherwise there is no other gap into the enclosure)?

You can cut a strip of cardboard that is just the right thinkness and tape it on the glass on the outside edge. This way the tape will not threaten the snakes.
Try a home improvement store to see if they have a piece of self adhersive foam/felt weather stripping that would fill that gap. Just an idea.
