Re: An introduction and my enclosure build.
This is the dude's page that makes awesome styrofoam environments. If you use the same technique but instead do in onto a PVC pipe, that may work.

Alright one more pic since I figured out my camera phone.

Maybe someone else will give ya less laborious work to make branches!
That doesn't sound too labor intensive. I come from a custom car background so nothing is too labor intensive as long as the end result is right.

Re: An introduction and my enclosure build.
Dude, you did that pretty quickly Albino's are niiiice. I think the multi-cage suggestion in your other thread sounds like a good idea.

*not really quickly* that was about two weeks of work being lazy on the weekends and waiting for resin to cure. I think I'm going to keep the cage like it is for a while and in a few years, I've got a futon-shaped spot in my extra bedroom begging for an enclosure for a full-sized burmese enclosure. BUT after that, I have a perfect separation point in the mantle for an upper and lower enclosure.

Re: An introduction and my enclosure build.
Do you own the house? I want an Albino Burm sooo bad, haha. My girlfriend and I held one at a show last year, and it was 150 pounds of amazing Thing weighed more then she did.

That's the beauty of owning your own home.... and not having a wife and kids to ruin your cool ideas.

Re: An introduction and my enclosure build.
That would make a great Carpet cage. A burm would outgrow that pretty quickly. Strong work for sure.
