Acrylic enclosure

[HazAnga]

Lol nice guys. And the sealant I'm using is not any kind of sillycone (hahahaa) it is actually a chemical compound that kind of melts the pieces together. Silicone will not stick to acrylic and therefore making that unsafe and just waiting to fall apart in the following days. It is safe for reptiles and I'm using 1/4" material.

The two words aren't even pronounced exactly the same..

Depends on your accent

[HazAnga]

Spelling? Not only that, the "L" is not silent. The two words aren't even pronounced exactly the same.

Now stop playing with your snakes and go study!

I'm just razzin ya.

Depends on your accent

lol... yeah i guess depending on a persons accent it could said differently or the same. It would also depend on how quick you say it lol.

well... guys... it's started. I've got the back the bottom and the divider put together, it's all i could do tonight, cut the pieces at work and I have to rest (the clear) pieces are getting cut tomorrow. So here's a couple pix
at first I was going to put it so that it was 18" deep and 24" high...

but now I'm thinking making it 24" deep and 18" high, more floor space

tell me what ya'll think. probably my second idea am i right.?

It will be interesting to see the finished product.
How are you going to ventilate it?

[HazAnga]

I plan on putting a group of 12 holes in a small cross on either side of the enclosure and then in the divider as well. But on the sides of the enclosure i'm thinking of mounting a fan on each side that will eventually maybe be on a timer of some sort. The top will have a hole cut out on either side and I'll be using Aluminum screening, with bolts and steel "L's" for the corners for extra strength. I couldn't find what i wanted for around the whole edge of the opening for the screen, but beggars can't be choosers. Doors on the front, obviously, I just have to cut the hinges at work on the band saw (found out cutting acrylic hinges with a miter saw doesn't do so well... I'm lucky i didn't end up with anything embedded into my face.

tomorrow it should be pretty much completed with the exception of the fans. I'll also have to get another light ballast and purchase the large UTH (which i asked if it was safe to apply to the bottom of the acrylic and it is) Decorations, substrate, water bowls, hides, will be added tomorrow night or Thursday.

cant wait for pics...ud better have done a good job after the long hell we(i) went through on this thread

[HazAnga]

lmao... yeah yeah. you just wait for the completed finish product, which might have to wait till I move, but it might be done by this weekend you never know... I hate leaving things incomplete so chances are by this weekend it'll be 99%... and will always be 99% cuzz a tank is never finished, there's always something to improve upon
And Btw... here's what'll be going in the tanks... I know there not garters... but ohh well.
