An introduction and my enclosure build.

What type of snake do you plan on putting in that?

Something Arboreal?

Right now its going to be a baby albino burmese. Eventually I may put a GTB in there and make a vivarium out of it. I figured if I'm building a custom cage, I might as well make it multi-purpose.

That's totally awesome! Good job with all that and good luck with the future snakes!!

I'm off to put the second layer of sealer primer on the inside.

p.s. does anyone know how to make realistic looking tree branches for the interior that will support a good bit of weight. I've googled the heck out of it and can't find an answer. I may end up just figuring it out. I'll post build pics if I do.

This would be a very painstaking process, but you could get PVC tubing, and little by little attach ripped apart Styrofoam to the pipe for the texture. Then add paint for color. Then seal. There's some awesome videos on Youtube that deal with making environments with styrofoam, so all you'd have to do is adapt it to a PVC pipe.

Maybe someone else will give ya less laborious work to make branches!

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.

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.

Thanks very much for that link. Doing it in pvc for strength and using the styrofoam for texture sounds like the perfect solution.
