Whoa!!!!! Justin, you MADE that?? What's it made out of?? I want, I want!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rwgsnakes]

hahaha, yea i made it.

It was an old entertainment center, now ribbon snake paradise

I glued down cut pieces of styrofoam, plaster of parised them and then painted and sealed. Relativly easy.

Thanks lori.

Wow, that IS an incredible looking enclosure. I have an old baby wardrobe/shelving unit that I'd like to convert one day -- you just gave me a whole new world of ideas for it, if I can figure out how to do all that!! Great job!

where do u get the plaster of paris stuff? i know how to use fiberglass really good but i dont know if that would hurt the snakes being a chemical like it is

[drache]

most good hardware stores should carry plaster of paris
some arts and crafts stores carry it
you can also use it sort of like paper maché, if you dip strips of gauze in it
