    Question Building a Cage

    I just started working on my new cages. I am about 1/2 done. I wanted to post pictures to get some feedback to see what I need to do and see if I was on the right track. It is 5 feet high, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet deep. Each level is about 11 inches tall with a 5 inch space at the bottom. I plan to heat it with flexwatt and a t-stat. I am going to stain it and put a polyureathane clear coat over everything.

    I am actually going to put doors on each level. What snakes do you have? I only have two that will go in it at the time and I am looking for a few females.
    Thanks

    No one likes my cage except for Freakie. I was hoping to get a little more feedback.

    Re: Building a Cage

    I have about $135 in all the wood and hardware. I plan on putting doors with glass windows so I can see inside. I still have to buy the glass and everything to heat it. I figured I would have about $300 total in everything. So 300 for 5 snakes is not that bad. I got a little nicer plywood for the sides so I spent more than what i had expected on wood.

    Correct me if im wrong but it looks like its going to be actual cages, not a typical rack.... again, I may be wrong.

    Its looks very awesome. You just gave me a idea also!!!!!! I am really going to think about doing this to save even more room and still be able to see them in plain veiw. It will also be easier than messing with glass screen tops.

    Whats the demensions for each cage?
