    Building a burmese python enclosure

    Hello. I am planning to Build an Enclosure for my baby Burmese Python. Right now shes only 2.5', but I want to get her adult cage finished asap. I have a basic design in mind, but im not sure im 100% in love with it, or the price of materials yet. Does anybody have photos of their large constrictor encosures? or old plans that you found yourself really happy with? I want to make sure im happy with the plans before I make it happen you know?

    My current plan is a 8'Lx4'Wx4'D Melamine enclosure with a 2x4 frame, with a front sliding plexiglass door. Im not sure If i want to build a heat element into the top, or if I want to usea heat pad or flexwatt or something. What do you guys think?

    Wow... that last one is beautiful. Did you build it yourself? You dont have the design still do you?

    I would want to make one very similar.
