    Finishing up another cage build.
    Another duel enclosure for ball pythons is coming to a close.

    Side one getting the shower board in.

    Here are what the panels look like (minus the floor)

    All boards in, waiting to dry to I can caulk and seal them.

    Everything looks better sealed up. I'll post more once I do more work. For now, I'm taking a break. :)

    Thanks for looking
    Paul.

    Thanks....I'm pretty sure I'm about to pass out from smelling glue and caulk for an hour though. :weirdface


    Hopefully it'll be ready in a few days, and then I can move in our little cinny girl.

    Also, I'll have no excuse not to get a new lesser girl!

    I'll have photos tonight I think....I still have to install the light fixtures and finish sealing it up.

    I have a thread in here somewhere that shows the last one I finished up.

    Yes, the room has to function as the office still, so we had to make sure everything fit well.

    It was a bit of a pain to measure out all the furniture we were buying to make sure the cages and couches were fung shui.

    Those are some nice looking cages. What wood did you use? Or is it melamine? I can't tell, the grain is too dark for my old eyes to tell if it's real or not.

    It's particle board with an oak veneer.

    Excellent cage! If you ever build another one you should take step by step photos and put together a how to guide.You would be a hero among BP keepers!:gj:

    Thanks guys.

    Though, until my next house (:please:) that will have more room for animals, I might be done for a while.

    Hope you don't mind me asking you few questions about your build. Your build has seriously lit a fire under my ass and want to build something just like it. I def don't want to "steal" but rather "borrowing" your build but with different wood and other materials. So...can you please tell me and rest of us who is interested into the details of your cages like heating, lighting, measurements, and ventilation system. It would be great.

    I absolutely adore your display cages, its just awesome! :gj:

    I'll do my best. The cages outer dimensions are 4 x 2 x 2. The wood is 3/4".

    The lighting an heating are duel purpose. I keep their room warm 80-85, so the bulb only has to add a few degrees to the cages. I use those energy star bulbs. (warm to the touch)

    There are two, 2.5" Vents in each side. For now they vent fine. I do plan on building up a small fan for one of the vents to move air through. When I do this, I'll try to do a step by step.

    Let me know what more you'd like to know, I'll do my best to answer.

    Re: Finishing up another cage build.
    Alright sweet man, I wonder if flexwatts is doable under those shower boards? I am little concerned how sealant and glue will fume from the heat. I am also working on lighting system that simulate night and day lighting. I am working on a plan to work with herpstat pro. I can see already that lots of wiring require for my build. I won't be imitated, no way! ;)

    Anybody that have this kind of expertise can chime in, please :please:

    I plan on doing that in the future. I figured I would drill ventilation holes in the back or side for the heat tape, and put it in a space between wood and showerboard.

    Great Job! Where did you find the plans for that cage set up? I would love to have that same exact setup. Looks very professional.
