Hi all!
Well, I've started constructing my first snake enclosure. I'm actually making two out of a 70 gallon aquarium (48"x18"x18"). The top is mostly enclosed with glass braces, so I have two openings. They are both about 15.5"x15". I've siliconed (non toxic aquarium silicone) a piece of plexiglass (opaque) right down the middle. I plan on housing a ball python and a corn snake. Right now, I'm working on building the oak frame. Picked up two 8' lengths today and they look beautiful. I'll be building my own "canopy" and screen doors. I was hoping I could use this thread for information as I go along. I was wondering if I should go fiberglass screen, or aluminum. . . I'm leaning towards the aluminum personally, but if someone knows better, give me a shout. I'll be taking pictures as I go along. I'm really excited about the project. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
