Ikea enclosure

Il tuo armadio sembra meraviglioso. Mi piacciono le palline di argilla, sono abbastanza.

There might be a problem with the sliding doors whcih can be used to escape ... depending on the size of the snake.

Thanks for the appreciative comments. And regarding the sliding doors, it has been a concern for me, therefore I have strenghtened the rigidity of the two pieces so neither the smaller male nor the bigger female can slide in between the two doors. Or at least, it is what I hope.
Nevertheless any advice would be of course very much appreciated.

Regarding the expanded clay pellet's size, I have been using them for all the time the old garters couple lived with me, and I fed them fish, frogs, stripes of meat, earthworms, nightcrawlers, and they never ever had problems with the clay.

Hugs all!

At the Reptile show last year, this guy made his viv with sliding doors and between the doors, he placed a strip of door weather stripping made of foam rubber with a sticky backing. I’m sure it made a deterrent.

As for the flexibility of the door “if”, it becomes and issues try gluing a strip of hardwood on the outside of the most outer door.

I do like the configuration access from the front. I keep reading that the ppl on here with viv that open to the front, seems to make the snake more at ease. Something I need to look at when building my next unit with a water feather for the Puget’s.

We have a lot of Ikea bookshelves (mostly containing our books). We don't have the Expedit units but I'm inspired by this project to try a modification to our shelves to move Binky into the living room or office when she needs a bigger viv.

Don't let her talk you into transforming your office into a snake room, like mine did. I barely have room to exercise now.
