    Re: custom enclosure plans

    What kind of board will you be using?

    Also what thickness? Make sure you take plenty of pics of the process man!

    Re: custom enclosure plans

    Sup rex, looking good one idea I would do a split door since a 6' door will be a bit of a pain to deal with when trying to keep the snake in durring a simple water change or trying to get it back in. take pics along the way

    Re: custom enclosure plans

    maybe not even use a rack but cut the glass or plexi and use hinges and i latch in the middle that would take out a lot of track work

    Re: custom enclosure plans

    yeah I would frame doors that big for the added support, a track on a 6' enclosure would be a pain cause if there is any bowing of the wood at all the doors will stick.

    Re: custom enclosure plans

    hmm that sounds like a good idea, but I would still split it up to make care a little easier
