Wow. Very creative!!! Your enclosures look great and of course your snakes will be better off for it! I wish I could do fun projects like this with my son but I can hardly get him to take out the trash! Sigh... Looking forward to seeing more photos and of the new snakes! Great work!

Re: Heavy duty enclosure
Two of the three are up and running. I've got lights in the other and will be loading it up later today. Will shoot some photos and get them posted later.
Put my T.s.parietalis in their enclosure and the smaller ones immediately located a security issue. It was an issue only that box had. Designed a couple of latches for each end of the door and solved that problem. Been a learning experience. I'm not very good with wood. Engines and computer I can do. Wood is another subject.
I can cut a board 3 times and it will still be too short.

Re: Heavy duty enclosure
It's been almost 3 years since these enclosures went into service and I finally got around to making a modification to one of them.
I love the enclosures but was forced to install a ventilation system as there wasn't any airflow.
Today was a complete cleaning day for this enclosure so after pulling everything out I removed the plexiglass from the doors and install screens in the frame.
Eventually I will convert the other two plexiglass doors to screens.

Re: Heavy duty enclosure
I think I've seen the pics of those enclosures before, but still, holy crap! I want giant enclosures like that... Then I'd have to go find snakes to put in them...

Re: Heavy duty enclosure
WOW!! That will make for one happy nest. It's awesome that you have the space to do this in. My living room is my reptile/amphibian room. (5 vivs going).
