    Looking for input/pictures

    I tried to see if this was already covered, sorry if it's a duplicate...

    I'm interested in the Animal Plastics enclosures (T8/T10) and want to be able to view my snake (and future snakes) without it being on the floor or only 8" off it with the platform they offer. I'm currently using a wire rack with the 20L tank the reptile shop sold me and it looks nice, but the AP's are going to be too large my my rack. It's difficult to find a piece of furniture that is 50-52" wide 24" deep that is at least 30" high.

    Wondering if any of you would mind posting pics of your set up to give me some ideas. I'm a little OCD and like a clean finished look.

    Thanks.

    My large cages just sit on a folding table I got at Lowes. It has a grey plastic table top and black metal legs. It is not the best looking table in the world, and it wouldn't look great in a dining room, but in my snake room it looks just fine. Im need to go get another for the new cage I ordered.

    Some of my other cages are on purpose built stands but they are not large enough for a 48 inch cage.

    This. I paid about $30 for a plastic folding table from Menards. Its sturdy, just the right size, but not attractive. But there are ways to dress it up.

    This is what I used for mine when I had them. It fit the T8 perfectly and matches the black PVC very well. I still use the desk today as my work table in the snake room even though I no longer have the T8s.

    I've got a wire shelving unit like restaurants use in stock rooms. Webstaraunt.com check it out. Not the cheapest but they look nice and you can get different lengths of legs and such for a range of viewing heights. They make a shelf size that's exactly 48"x24" and also comes in black to match the cage. I'll post a pic soon of what I have

    Thanks to all of you for your input.

    I was looking at furniture pieces but money is not unlimited. I looked at the folding tables today and figured it would work well with black fabric hiding the legs, but spending more money (even if it's 40 bucks) is unnecessary when I have the wire rack. I'll just use the lower half and go it that way until I expand and have more cash on hand.

    I REALLY do appreciate your taking the time to respond with your suggestions.

    Have I mentioned this has got to be the nicest forum group I've ever been a member of. Thanks
