Creative snake housing
While it seems that most people either keep ball pythons in a rack/tub system or glass tanks, every once in a while I've seen some pretty creative custom terrariums. I was wondering if anyone on here had a unique set up that they wouldn't mind sharing a few pictures of.
I just moved to Houston, TX about a month ago with my large male bp, Kalua, and has definitely outgrown his glass tank and I'm considering some other options. One interesting idea I had was turning a large IKEA bookshelf into a terrarium by putting glass on the front. My apt stays at an ambient temp of ~83, and has a natural dark/light cycle, so I don't need to worry about lighting and heating as much as I did when we were in PA. It's also incredibly humid here, so that is less of a problem than in other regions. Any idea, suggestions, constructive criticism?

Lol............
(This looks like a very "creative" and terrible enclosure, for anyone who might not be aware.)
I remember reading through that thread halfway, and I couldn't finish it.

Sweet setup. I used to have big natural setups but i moved to racks with the number of my collection now. I still love a good natural look though. That's a cool looking rock setup. need more pics? I've seen some fantastic ones made using great stuff.

Oh goodness not this again....
It really is a terrible enclosure, and the bad part is; is that this user believes it is the absolute best, and there is nothing wrong with it...
Back on topic. OP I use rack systems that I built myself, they aren't creative, but boy do they save space!
