    My DIY Project

    So this weekend my dad and I decided to turn a bookshelf into an enclosure for my ball python. We got a 4x8 piece of white hardboard and lined the inside of the bookshelf. Then we made a shelf with 1x1s and hardboard for the ceiling of the enclosure. We bought aluminum railing for the sliding glass doors. After we put the doors in I siliconed the seams to make it waterproof. After that all I had to do was clean and disinfect and then add my ball python, Sirius. I want to post pictures but it won't let me. Anybody know how I can? Thanks.

    I notice your temps say 71? I'm hoping that's your ambient temperature? Im guessing you have a UTH somewhere assuming hooked up to the hyrdo farm in the corner?

    Looks like a nice project, and good job on the construction. One thing to note, when you using silicone type sealants, it is a good idea to wait a few days for it to completely set up and out gas the vapors before adding animals.
