Building new cage! follow my progress

So today I decided I'd build the first of my new enclosures.
It is going to measure 4' x 2' x 18" high.
Here's the start of it!
At this point I just have all the wood (3/4" 5 plywood) cut to size, and sanded.

note that in this pic, the top is actually laying down to the side, this cage will open from the front.

Kinda big for a Ball.

that looks way to big for a ball python, anything over 30 gals would be fairly stressfull

That'd be good for a 7ft boa constrictor. :]

Hmm I saw you post something similar in another thread.

I *highly* doubt that anything over 30g would be very stressful. Come on, give people some choice. It's highly likely that if you fill the tank up nicely it'll be excellent.

yeah my 5.5' boa is in a 4'x2'x18"

my bp's are in 4x2x1 but i got some big hunks of wood in there that take up about 60% of the cage plus it gives them like dozen hiding spots

on thing tho what type of plywood are you using?????

It's a matter of opinion...
But I've seen many feeding issues resolved with a smaller tank.
20g long tanks are max adult ball python tanks in my mind, unless you have a huge female.

actually if my boa was 7 feet in length i would have him in a 6x2 or better yet a 6x3

Thanks Z&L; he has a success story with larger cages...so far at least ;)

we all know bp's like to live in small areas but gosh darn if the man want a 4x2 let him have a 4x2 cause i have 4 4x2's and then for my baby i have a 18"x12"x????16" or maybe just 12" i don't really remember
