    New stacked cage

    Built this for my brothers boas. Each one is 16" x 16" x 40" The interior is a prefinished plywood. Its coated with a 2 part epoxy that is U.V finished, and is completly waterproof. Just waiting on him to let me know what he wants for the glass.

    Regular columbians. They were all born this year so they are all small. He has plenty of time before we have to go bigger, then he will use it for balls.

    Yeah those would make good Adult Female or breeding cage for ball pythons. I could also see those being used as Arboreal cages for BRB's or Chondros with some perches or branches in them.

    I love black, so i would have painted them black personally, but that wood is actually pretty nice.

    The interior only comes in that one color. The outside is unfinished and I believe he is gonna paint it black.

    Make sure that you go heavy on the caulk inside those levels. You don't need stuff leaking. Also, how are you planning on heating? Panels? Probably hard to put tape in those.
