Yet another project

[Stefan-A]

Well, I've made some truly horrible stuff in the past, maybe this one isn't as bad as I think.

It's not very high, but I'm thinking about adding shelf that would run along at least the back wall. Maybe even one or both of the side walls. It would add a bit of surface area as well as limited climbing opportunities. It's only supposed to be big enough for a snake up 6-10 months of age anyway.

We all have to start somewhere...If I look at the first enclosure I made, I can actually start to cry . Horrible looking thing!

It looks great!
What is that stuff along the top of the glass to clip it shut? Gives a nice clean look -- no hinges and hooks!

[Stefan-A]

It's just aluminium profile, siliconed to the glass. It's supposed to work as a handle and protect the glass, but at the same time also seal the gap between the glass and the wood. I haven't decided yet how to lock the door in place once it's shut. There are so many alternatives and I'd like to make something different. Maybe something like the mechanism on a ballpoint pen.

The hinges are in the lower corners.

That enclosure make my carpentry work look like a spastic child built them for me.

Excellent looking enclosure

It was built mostly out of spare parts, but I estimate its actual cost to be about 20€. The only time consuming part is when you have to let it dry.
