3 feet is it long enough?

Nice. BP's are addicting.. My new setup will include 3 cages and some shelf areas for my cresties and my spotted gecko. I will have use of some great table saws this weekend and make all the cuts and build at home. I kinda miss working in a wood shop. Do you have any kind of lighting in your new setup? for viewing or heat?

Yeah. For viewing, not heat.

I had a couple 12v LED strips in a cool blue, so I wired them up to a switch and transformer and now, on command, I can cast a cool blue azure across the cage.

Unfortunately I can't get a camera to show what the eye can see, but once I do I'll put up some pics.

I just got a second BP today. His patterns say normal, but he is very dark in color but with a bright belly. I'm letting him settle before I handle and get pics. But soon I'll be building a second cage for this snake and I have learnt soo much about building cages that mistakes will not be as plentiful as when building the first enclosure.

And flexwatt is perfect. I don't know where people get the fire stories from, but I'm hooked up to a rheostat (temps reading 91ish) and the vent holes beneath stop a dangerous buildup of heat. Wood needs to reach 400ish degrees before it'll ignite.
