New Snake Condo

I am finally finished with my snake cage. My temperatures are perfect. I just have one question about air flow. I have twenty-five 1/2 inch holes drilled in the back of each level, would that be enough airflow?

Very nice!! that is from a aold cavinet(sp?) right? is look really good

I have noooo idea, but that looks very nice! Was that a dresser that you converted or did you build from scratch?

You did a great job! ..............as far as the air flow goes, i think maybe a couple of holes on the side would give you that circulation you need :)

It is made out of 3/4 inch ply wood. My dad and I built it with a drill, tablesaw, and jigsaw. It was very easy. It took longer than we expected to build. But that also gave us time to thinkout every little detail.
Thanks

Looks very good, nice job!

Looks VERY nice, could have it as a showpiece anywhere in the house :)

How did you stain/seal the wood to help protect against humidity. Is it lined in anyway, or is the surface exposed to where the snake can touch against it?

Nice work! :)

LOVE IT!

Also a few holes in the sides will help give more air flow.

Nice snake house...How are you heating?

Thanks to all who posted!

I stained everything then applied two coats of water based polyureathane. I also have a sheet of vinyl flooring on the floor of each level that goes up one inch on the sides and back.

I am heating each level with 18" of 11" flexwatt contolled by a ranco thermostat.

This is exactly what I want if/when I get another BP! It looks great. Did you put your UTH under the vinyl flooring? Is your vinyl attached/glued to the wood? I would love to try to build something similar- only maybe 3-4 levels.

I cut the vinyl floor to run up the sides about an inch or two then used staples along the edge to hold it into place. The flexwatt (UTH) is under the vinyl. I am drawing up the plans for another member and could send you them.

Thanks

Any plans/tips you have would be great. I have never built anything before, (just a compost bin) but I know how to use a drill, table saw, jigsaw... I think I will give it a shot before I spend big money buying a pre-made enclosure.

Thanks

That looks great and is what I'm wanting to do. Did you happen to draw up any plans for it?

That is a very nice looking unit .

Yeah when I do anything like that I keep my plans so I can make another or so someone else can use them. Thought it was worth a shot.
