I am so frustrated. For the past month I've been thinking of ideas to build my own stacked ball python cages. Originally I was going to build 4 individual wood cages with rubber feet to stack and plexiglass front doors. Then I wanted a book shelf type enclosure with 4 "shelves" and again plexiglass front hinged doors (considered sliding doors too). But unable to use pine, cedar, or fir for plywood, MDF is way too heavy to carry up my stairs to the second floor, and all other woods are just insanely expensive. I wanted something to "showcase" my snakes, since I can't really have too many. My landlord might have a heart attack if he knew I wanted 4 more...but still! I don't mind the rack systems they are just expensive to buy online, and they seem kind of small for a full grown ball python. I know they are great for breeders and people with multiple snakes, but I only wanted like 4. It seems like for the price of building my own I might as well get it online, which is way too much. Anyone have any nice looking and comfortable ideas for housing 4 snakes? Any pictures would be nice, I'm pretty handy so I can make something myself, I just need ideas! It's driving me crazy lol. Thanks!
