    Having said that I'm a big fan of Animal Plastics enclosures, apcages.com. Many folks go with the T8 for ball pythons but some prefer something taller. Here's a really great thread on how to set them up. https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-With-Pictures!
    AP isn't the end all plastic cage manufacturer but I like their products and they're a pretty good value depending on which model cage you get.

    I checked the site and they do look like great enclosures, but to get near the interior space I'm looking for would cost me over $500. I doubt I could sell the wood closet for more than $200 on Craigslist.

    I'll mentally store them for the future, because I probably will buy another reptile eventually, but right now I'm interested in trying to use flex-seal with PVC lining on top of it. At any rate, I can't bring the closet into my house anytime soon (I'm trying to sell other furniture to make room), so it isn't like I need to make the decision today.

Plus it will be lighter and easier to move and clean than a giant piece of furniture lined with PVC.

    Another piece of advice is KISS...keep it simple stupid. Not saying you're stupid lol, its just the saying I heard while growing up and working in the automotive repair industry. It's best to keep your cages simple and easy to clean and maintain. The more complex you make something, the more chances of having problems.

    For example here are a couple pics of my cages. Animal Plastics T25s 6x3x18 cages. These have an almost 7' retic, 6.5' boa and 5.5' boa.


    Animal Plastics T10s on the bottom 4x2x15 cages with a dumerils and ball python and 2 T8s on top 4x2x12 cages with 2 baby boas. Also have another T8 not pictured with another baby boa.
    Those do look pretty good. I'll consider it while I wait for my old furniture to sell.
