snake enclosure under 125g fish tank *DUW*

That is very neat. know that my BCI loves climbing around on the driftwood in his cage.. and I like the aspen idea since it seems that boas enjoy burrowing sometimes :) I also like how in the right side, there is some privacy offered by the sides of the enclosure so he does not feel looked-at all the time.
Isn't it great to have a hubby that not only accepts your snake obsession, but helps out with it?!

it sure is jen! he did such a nice job of this enclosure... we both did. we worked hard on it and i'm proud to say... DRAKE IS IN HIS NEW FOREVER HOME!!!!!

i specifically designed it to have that nice quiet dark area jen... so he could get out of 'inquiring eyes' if he chooses.

here's some more pics folks!

this is his new hide... under a nice curved piece of driftwood with some greens on it. he soooo loves his greens. he pokes his head out of them (as he's always had this particular piece in his enclosure) especially when dinner is served. i hope he loves this one as much as his old one.

this next pic is his branch... one of them as he has two which are fastened up high for his "up up UP" mentality (other boa owners know what i'm talking about)

here he is on his other hide... he's found a spot he loves already!

and here's a pic from when we first put him in:

and finally... the painted, screwed, cut, glued, cemented - finished product!

by the way... all the wood which looks unfinished is triple coated with verathane. the rock and cement has been sealed and the driftwood has been baked. the aspen is a few inches deep and yes, there's a nice big water dish in there although i don't think it showed up on any of the pics LOL

his completed enclosure is: 55" long x 33" high x 21" wide. the inside height dimension is a little different... 29" high.

omgoddess, i know i know... i'm pathetic. but he's soooo freakin' cute in his new home. he's been sitting here like this... for about 20 minutes now LOL can you see his little face? (well big swollen face actually... but hey, you get the idea)

well he seems to be liking his new home. he's been exploring all around... hanging out on all the driftwood and trying to figure out how to get through the glass door LOL

so now, let's cross our fingers and hope his swelling goes down! at least now... i can sleep knowing he's in the best possible enclosure i can provide.

Aleesha,
That thing looks great, and it looks like Drake has set up shop for the long haul. I'm glad he likes his new home.

thanks tim!

we've decided with this almost 40 degree heat wave we are having here that we need to add a bit more ventilation for the week or two a year we do get intense heat. so... we are adding another vent on the front. on the right side. as you can see by the pics... his two vents are on the right end...

so what do you think? should we add another vent down low on the front or up high? i'm thinking down low since his other vents are mid to high...

fortunately all these vents can be closed if we wish, so no worries for when it's the cooler winter months!

That is so awesome Aleesh :) All that's under our 125g tank is a filter and some nets. :/
Nice filter (completely unrelated) what brand is it? I use a canister Marineland in mine.

that's a fluval fx5... this baby will filter a 400 gallon tank on it's own... i'm super pleased with it. ;)

any suggestion on where to put the last vent?

and some reallly REALLLLLY great news... drake ate today for the first time in ages. i'm so pleased. here's a pic of him as he hunted for his rattie.
