Creative snake housing

While it seems that most people either keep ball pythons in a rack/tub system or glass tanks, every once in a while I've seen some pretty creative custom terrariums. I was wondering if anyone on here had a unique set up that they wouldn't mind sharing a few pictures of.

I just moved to Houston, TX about a month ago with my large male bp, Kalua, and has definitely outgrown his glass tank and I'm considering some other options. One interesting idea I had was turning a large IKEA bookshelf into a terrarium by putting glass on the front. My apt stays at an ambient temp of ~83, and has a natural dark/light cycle, so I don't need to worry about lighting and heating as much as I did when we were in PA. It's also incredibly humid here, so that is less of a problem than in other regions. Any idea, suggestions, constructive criticism?

i once saw a guy use an old tv stand.

here it is.

(This looks like a very "creative" and terrible enclosure, for anyone who might not be aware.)

I remember reading through that thread halfway, and I couldn't finish it.

Oh, him. :no: I think he's earned the official title of "that guy" on this forum haha

Here's a couple of my custom terrarium. Creating habitats is one of the best parts of keeping reptiles in my book, so I designed my enclosure to accommodate a mini-environment.

It's built out of 3/4" maple plywood. The interior is sealed with Drylok and the rocks are made out of insulation foam and spray foam. The substrate is a bioactive mix. There's a radiant heat panel for warmth and a full spectrum LED bar on a timer for the plants.

Sweet setup. I used to have big natural setups but i moved to racks with the number of my collection now. I still love a good natural look though. That's a cool looking rock setup. need more pics? I've seen some fantastic ones made using great stuff.

Oh goodness not this again....

It really is a terrible enclosure, and the bad part is; is that this user believes it is the absolute best, and there is nothing wrong with it...

Back on topic. OP I use rack systems that I built myself, they aren't creative, but boy do they save space!
