    New Snake Condo

    I am finally finished with my snake cage. My temperatures are perfect. I just have one question about air flow. I have twenty-five 1/2 inch holes drilled in the back of each level, would that be enough airflow?

    I have noooo idea, but that looks very nice! Was that a dresser that you converted or did you build from scratch?

    You did a great job! ..............as far as the air flow goes, i think maybe a couple of holes on the side would give you that circulation you need

    Re: New Snake Condo

    It is made out of 3/4 inch ply wood. My dad and I built it with a drill, tablesaw, and jigsaw. It was very easy. It took longer than we expected to build. But that also gave us time to thinkout every little detail.
    Thanks

    Re: New Snake Condo

    Looks VERY nice, could have it as a showpiece anywhere in the house

    How did you stain/seal the wood to help protect against humidity. Is it lined in anyway, or is the surface exposed to where the snake can touch against it?

    Nice work!

    Re: New Snake Condo

    LOVE IT!

    Also a few holes in the sides will help give more air flow.

    Re: New Snake Condo

    Thanks to all who posted!

    I stained everything then applied two coats of water based polyureathane. I also have a sheet of vinyl flooring on the floor of each level that goes up one inch on the sides and back.

    I am heating each level with 18" of 11" flexwatt contolled by a ranco thermostat.
