found a great inexpensive cage idea

i found this thread at a boa forum. it shows a great looking cage built from a rubbermaid. I wonder if its possible to make it work for a bp using heat tape....check it out -

geez that os a good idea!

i never wanted a rubbermaid cuz i always like to watch my bp!

It would definitely be possible to do it for a bp, but I would be inclined to attach the acrylic with something more secure than hot glue. Of course, the transparent Sterilites are pretty see-through and I don't have any problem seeing my snakes through them.

I was going to do that. You can get really big rubbermaid containers, 55 gallons or more maybe. I still may do that, but I am not sure.

I'm a bit worried about holding it up with "hot glue", I'm sure theres a nice sealer in Home Depot to use instead.

Last time I checked "hot glue" doesn't hold to well.

silacone sealant works well, you can also drill holes, screw in place and then cover cracks and screws with silacone

U could use liquid nails!(idk just putting that out there dont know if its lethal tho)

That's pretty cool. Dunno why I never thought of that. I've been looking at the big ol' rubbermaid storage tubs you can get that are like 5 foot by 3 foot or something, but not clear plastic. Cheap boa housing with a few modifications maybe?

You could attach hinges to the bottom and put bar latches on the top that way you could open it up from the top or side :mrgreen:
