Acrylic enclosure

[HazAnga]

here's the front after i cut out the holes for the doors

and then the top with the holes cut out for the screen to go later on

here's the front with the doors and the pieces i cut to keep the doors from swinging all the way in, and also keeps a good tight seal, so nothing can git out

the front isn't attached yet in this pic but she's the pieces I cut to go on it

a closeup of those pieces

here's the left side going on, with the holes where later a fan will be attached

[HazAnga]

here's the right side attached (cat decided to join in with the picture taking

And here's the doors attached (I messed one up by putting the hinges on the wrong side so that the door would fall off when opened


And that is all i have right now, I'm going to buy a few things for the screen top because it wouldn't go on the way i was hoping so now I have to go out and buy more things!!! uggghh... hope you like the pix

[HazAnga]

well... after much pain staking work, it's completed (minus waterbowls, but that's tomorrow)
here are some more pix
everything on but the screen top, which i couldn't attach because the small bolts i had... well were to short (second trip to the hardware store needed)

now this is with the multch/vine/ hides/loops for vine and more (but no screen yet...)

now here's the screen tops I had to make. Remind me to find a different way to make a screen top next time I found a new hate doing this...

AND FINALLY!!!!! it's done here's a pic of both

The right side of it where the male is

and the left side where the female is

I hope you all like the pix and maybe make an acrylic enclosure of your own, it really isn't all that hard, better then working with glass. So what it will eventually scratch up but that's only if you let it.

Looks nice.
The first thing the garters will do is poop all over the lower glass.
They're just giving it that lived in look.

Lol Steve its not for the garters it was for my corns, but I'm sure they'll do the same thing lol.

Boah krass, would German teenagers shout about that, Nick.
It looks like your occupation must be very similar work, very professional.

Nick, beautiful enclosures! I understand everyone's initial concerns and agree that glass holds up better. But I also had a strong feeling that you know what you were doing and the end result shows it. People pay big bucks to have an impressive show tank like yours and you made yours yourself! Amazing job! ;-)

I bet you're right.
I moved some snakes around today. They spent the first hour pooping.

[infernalis]

They do that a lot.... It's like if I spend an hour scrubbing a cage, they have to poop all over it as soon as I put them back.

Very impressive looking cage.. actually VERY impressive.

[HazAnga]

I'm actually impressed myself... almost to the point of "it can't be my work!" lol but now it's almost making me want to make one for the garter, but they have an awesome cage themselves.
I purchased the book "The Art of Keeping Snakes" and hoping to learn something from it about different ways to setup and build enclosures. I love Gregmonsta's Tank stack, something to think about for the future, and maybe some more garters to go with it
