I've reached that point where I am thinking about long term housing for my growing collection. At the moment I have snakes in 3 different rooms. It turns out that one of my lodge brothers has access to sheet PVC and runs a CNC machine shop. He offered to build me a setup for cost much to the delight of my wife. She does not want me to do tubs, but rather more of a display type enclosure. So this is the plan I came up with today after sitting down with photoshop for a bit. It's all drawn out to scale.
I think the longer units could use 3 hinges and two latches, but aside from that I'm pretty happy. T-stats will be housed in the storage area. Heating will either be Heat Tape or zoo med heat cord. 15w LED lights go on the ceiling for each unit and are on a timer. All the wiring will be in channels CNC milled into the top and bottom of each unit so it's all hidden. The units are modular and will be resting on 1/2 PVC rounds to keep them locked in place. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Dave
