custom enclosure plans

[rex322]

plan on starting this tomarrow for my female BCI

[Smulkin]

What kind of board will you be using?

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

[rex322]

well i changed the plans a little, im gonna end up haveing to use a lamp. i cant afford a radiant heat panel right now so im gonn ause belly heat and lamps. i just picked up the wood and its 3/4in thick. not bad got it for $ a piece.

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

[rex322]

yea...have any idea where i can get some track for it?

[Patrick Long]

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

[rex322]

thats not a bad idea either. im considering the choices

[Python-77]

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.

my dad had an idea where you could just lift the glass right outta the top of the cage...that didnt sound like to bad of an idea....

[Python-77]

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