    forever enclosure

    My little guy is still a baby but I'm already thinking of plans for his forever enclosure. Looking for some good ideas of some diy homes. I'm going to start building it in the next month or so. Right now he's in a 4x2x2 wooden boa master enclosure but I know he will grow at least a few feet in the next year

    Tips:

    Think of how big you can make it, and then make it bigger.
    Elevate the pool so there is extra use of available space.
    Basking platforms elevated also increase usable space, providing more hide areas underneath.
    Insulate, insulate, insulate!

    Thanks. I''ve been doing a lot of research on building them and cheacking out other forums as well for ideas. Man there's a lot of good builds out there with step by step instructions. Lol. I'll be starting the planning and building by the end of this month. Here's the little guy that I'm building it for. Right now he's in a 4x2x2. He's a spoiled little one.
