    Heya everyone. I am looking to build a 36x18x18 custom cage for my ball python soon, and probably one for my blood once he is an adult. I would go the easier route and buy a cage online, but shipping to Fairbanks is crazy

    So I've been searching the forum and google for days and bookmarking pages with ideas.

    Are you guys going to "water proof" your wood? I was thinking of doing something really simple, because I don't have any tools so I will have to buy some. I was basically envisioning a wooden box with a Plexiglas front that is hinged on the front, and folds down. No special cuts or anything fancy.

    I was also probably going to have to use a heat lamp, until I save up for radiant heat panels. So a small metal screen area on top, then If I got the Radiant panels, replace the screen with wood, install it, etc...

    Is the flexwatt inside the cage, or under the cage? How does the heat go through the wood if it is under the cage?
