    My new enclosure (still work to do)

    Hi

    I started slowly to make an enclosure for my future garters snakes. I didn't take many picture of the building process, as I live in apartment, I have to work at my father house and I forget my camera must of the time.

    The only missing things are stand door (where we see gloves box and tape), the windows on sides, the sliding doors in the front and the glass fiber in the aquarium part (who is in triangle shape to maximize the dry floor surface).

    I just have one layer of resin and fiber done yet, cause even if there is a heat wave into the province, here it is particularly cold theses days (15-18°C) with fog and rain. So I have to wait for the sun to come back to ended the resin job.

    So here are the 3 pics I got, new ones will follow once I have the opportunity to finish it.





    and the screen top




    It doesn't look on the pictures but the enclosure is in two sections, the enclosure and the stand (I made them sit in one and another) a got in mind that I will have to move it, so it is easier to move 2 smaller parts than a big one

    Nice work, Mathieu!

    Describe it a little more! It looks as if you have subterranean-type hides with viewing glass, am I seeing it correctly???

    It is gonna be the aquarium part, it will be ¾ full with water (who will be filtrate into a bucket place under it, will work by overflow and the water will be pump back into the aquarium) I made it with wood/glass and glass fiber

    That is why I coat all the aquarium surface with glass fiber and epoxy resin.
