Building my own terrarium!!!!!!

[Aedryan Methyus]

Just get DIY Critter Condo from DIYcages. You can get a 24x24x24 for $159. It comes with lights and heat lamp. And made of compressed pvc and foam. Easy to put together. Took me 30min. Not completely done cuz I'm waiting for extra stuff. Would cost less than buying all the stuff seperately.

24" x 24" x 24" isn't going to be long enough for an adult Ball Python. As others have already suggested, I would go with pvc board and I would make it 48" (length) x 24" (depth) x 12" (height). Pvc board is around $80.00 a sheet, but it's really the the best option for enclosures, in my opinion. Melamine would also be fine and it's less than half the price of pvc board ($30.00 a sheet), but it's very heavy and not the greatest choice for this type of enclosure. I would also design the enclosure with a removable partition down the center and keep it in until your Ball outgrows the 24" x 24" x 12" space or you will likely have feeding and defensive issues. There are nice pvc enclosures on the market this size that only cost around $160.00. By the time you add up all of the material and hardware and the time and trouble involved in building one, you really are almost better off just buying one.
