    New enclosure build

    Just finished sealing it up last night and adding the pipes. I was pretty pleased with the way it came out. I used pvc board so I didn't have to mess with painting or staining or sealing the wood. It went together easily and is really light.
    4 ft long 2 ft deep 2 ft tall.

    Nice looking enclosure, looks like it should serve you well.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Thanks I hope it does, I initially designed it for my jungle carpet python, but he's still a few years away from being big enough, I have a hog island Panamanian cross who's about 4 feet and I'm hoping she likes to climb.

    New enclosure build

    I got my JCP when she was a year old. Until I got her permanent home a few months ago, I never saw her on the ground except for soaking in her water bowl for that year and a half.

    Where did you get the pvc board? Your cage looks great.

    Thank you, I got it at my local home Depot. And they cut it for me. I had to make zero cuts just assemble. Couldn't have been more happy about that too because that saved me loads of time , and I don't have a vehicle big enough to move the 4x8 sheets anyway.

    Looks great!!! I'm leaning more and more towards building my own 4 tier PVC enclosure. Seeing yours makes me want to do mine even more!

    Re: New enclosure build

    What did you use to attach everything together? Sides and pipe.

    Re: New enclosure build

    I used stainless steel screws to attach the sides. The PVC pipes were harder I used screws and another pipe piece that fit inside the pipe that I could screw into from the top. And sides.

    Re: New enclosure build

    Was the sheet 1/2 inch thick? Also how are you heating? Sorry I have so many questions.
    This looks great. If you don't mind i'm going to steal this idea lol
