Plans for a new cage

[WakoNako]

So my snakes are growing. Growing big and fast. Its time for a new house.

Considering I have a new house, I figure they both deserve some new digs to.

Right now its only in the plan stage until finances are better (im getting married next month, the fiancee needs a new car after totaling hers tonight etc...).



I'm going to start by building a base cabinet approximately 6' 6" x 2' and approximately 3' high. The corners will most likely be made of 4"x4" wood for strength and it'll be covered in 1/2" pine that I'll stain.

The cage(s) will be 6' long in total and just over 18" wide and 12" high. There'll be a divider in the middle making each cage 3'x18"x12". They too will be built out of pine, then stained and sealed for protection. The doors will be made from plexi and pine.

On the back wall of each cage, I will add texture using pieces of wood and then covering it in grout. I may do the same on all sides, i'm not sure yet.

The floor will be tile with a 11" x12" piece of flexwatt for UTH in each.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Sounds Like a good plan. One comment though, make sure you seal it well. I built a 3'X18"X12"high cage with plexi front doors. I used Kilz primer then paint then the Polyuerethane. Came out great and the only thing I wish i wouldve done, I should have installed LED lighting before i sealed it all up.
