Hey guys/gals,
I mentioned before that I have been keeping snakes for many years. Among other things, I kept burmese pythons. This required the construction of large enclosures (8' l x 2.5' w x 2' h).
Now I love carpentry, it's been another hobby of mine for many years as well as something my father and I have done since childhood. We built a number of enclosures over the years and this (see below) was one of them. I need some advice on improvements that I could make to the design, any other other features that should be implemented.
Please note, this enclosure had been sitting for a number of years and had something (I believe mice) get inside of it. I'm not sure what, but it is a horrid mess at the moment and will be disassembled in order to fully sand down the interior and repaint it, as well as fully replace the wiring and heating system. The original wiring had been chewed through and that just won't do; so I will be replacing the heating system in its entirety as well as the wiring. The doors for the heat adjustment have also been damaged and removed. I've since cut a wood panel that will replace the opening as a finished door once it's been properly painted and finished.
Please let me know what you think of the current design and let me know of any improvements you think I could make.
The interior looks horrid from sitting, mice, and on the right side you can see where the heating has been removed. Constant temps are 92/82 hot and cool. Also the tank was divided in half for young burmese, leaving 4' x 2.5' x 2' on each side. Any questions just ask.
Thanks!
