    Wow, looks great!!! I love the idea of the "hidden" hides being tubs.

    I've been toying with the idea of building my own as well. I like a lot of your ideas and would love to see the cut sheet as a reference. I've been thing of very similar dimensions and thinking three 4x8 sheets should cover me for three enclosures.

    Thanks you!

    Here is my cut sheet. The 5.125 is the center support for the floor. I cut the length to 19.25 not 46.5. All those vuts on the bottom were used to make the light guard.

    Also, I bought cheap plywood (poplar) for $15 and added linoleum flooring for the back. It allowed me to cut down on weight. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...613e5b9cd5.jpg

    Awesome, thank you!!

    Does your carpet seem to be using both tubs as well as the display area of the enclosure?

    I just moved her in last night so she hasn't moved yet. She's about to shed too so after about a week I should have an idea. What do you have?

    Oh ok, sounds good.

    I got back into the hobby fairly recently after taking years away. My collection is growing, but I probably won't be adding anything any time too soon. For reptiles I have an adult male California King, a juvenile male Vanilla het pied BP, a female Plasma corn snake, a male topaz motley corn snake and an African Fire Skink

    Nice mix ya got there.

    I don't have much of a collection yet. Despite wanting to buy everything I see I know its best to grow slow. I only have 4 snakes. My Irian Jaya carpet, a pastave ball, a mystic spider ball and a hypo corn snake. Gonna breed the balls in 2 years. I may breed carpets too but I'm not sure yet.

    Thanks. It's taking a ton of self-control not to add a few more now. I definitely want to add at least one more BP, probably something axanthic or pied. I'm thinking a Jungle Jag too. And I want to add a Mexican Black King at some point and eventually a GTP.
    I'm also "snake-sitting" for a friend. She had a hognose that she couldn't get to eat. I've had him about a month and he is 3 for 3 eating since I've had him and due to eat tomorrow. Something tells me that she isn't going to want to take him back and I'll end up adopting him, but the plan was that she takes him back once he's eating regularly. We'll see...

    I like your collection as well. I love the pastave morph!!
