i also agree not too big at al some of us here have outdoor enclosures way bigger than that bith just a handful of snakes in it and it looks very promising for an enclosure

NetBSD wow really? I ran OpenBSD for endpoints/firewalls for a while. If that is even what your name implies. Switched to Gentoo.

Anyways keep us posted with pics of this project of yours.

i have 3 NetBSD boxes from 3.0.1 to the latest weekly snapshot and Gentoo x86, amd64 and ppc32. open source FTW!....


anyway, thanks for all the replies guys. yer making me wanna finish this thing even sooner. got the vinyl floor tile's today and got them put in and sealed up with some sealent for the seams, i guess all thats really left is to install the 3x3" fans incase the cage becomes to hot and finish making the front cover....


after the paint for sealing the wood, 3 coats (its that baby safe stuff)

dont mind that hole in the back, i made as cover for it before the tile went in.


and after laying in the tile and going over every little crack and seam with sealer, i will be rubbing off the extra after it dries.


thats where im at for now, its already 12am here so i cant really run my saw to make the front cover...


btw whats up with this mods needs to approve posts? is it always like this or is it just for newbies like me? in a way its annoying but a good idea due to all the spamming i see on all the other forums. (if this is anyway outof line i am sorry but i didnt see anything regarding this anywhere on the forums)

Oh hey I like that tile. You could glue stuff to it, too, to make interesting climbs. Too fun.

Don't worry, now that you're in, you're in. There's no leaving Thamnophis.com...

Net, it is to keep out spammers. A bit irritating for those - like me - anxious and excited to post right away, but in the end best for us all.

This is a really good place. You can't even compare it to kindsnake.com. At all. I think you'll be very very happy here. I know I am.

yeah i really love how the tile turnd out, i didnt think it would look that neat, but i dont think im going to glue stuff to it, im gunna see if i can use suckshun cups instead but im not sure if they will stick yet due to the little bit of texture the tiles have. today im gunna go on the hunt for some fake plants for the enclosure and try to come up with an idea for making some hides. if anyone has some ideas on making hides please share because the local store wants $15 for the cheapest one and i wanna get a few


So far im loving this site, everyone is so friendly and suppotive, you really need that when building an enclosure . i dont plan on leaving anytime soon

Uuuhhhmmmm... Net, if it were me, I'd rethink/reconsider the suction cups.

Reason being all I've ever used, like on windows with pretty hangy-things, all have lost their suction after awhile and come crashing down. Much to my sorrow as the pretty hangy-things have much suffered.

Should one o'your branches, climbs, whatevers come crashing down when suction is lost (due to heat/cold/humidity/whatever) your snakes on them could be injured from the fall. As well as any snigglettes underneath that might get beaned.

Good solid, sturdy, well glued crawly-things would, in my thinking, be better and safer for your kids.

Just my thoughts.

Looking very good.

Like Gertie, I wouldn't recommend suction cups, either.

[Lori P]

I super-glue my suction cups... this way they are kind of there permanently, but, they are small and you can still re-arrange everything. And, you can still pry them off. :-)
