Ball python enclosure

[Karleejoe]

what are u doing w/ the extra 2feet on the bottom? is that gonna be a spare 2x2x2 cube?


yes, i would make the big box, outer walls first. there are programs that could help u optimize your cuts. u punch in the dimensions of the mother board and the smaller sizes u need and it will recommend how to cut. also another thing to consider is are the pieces gonna sit flush or are u gonna add additional cuts/grooves to fit in the interior walls? this will help w/ stability if u don't want to use additional brackets, etc. on the other hand, maybe u could just use enough screws?


i would imagine that u would at least use 1/2inch boards, most likely 1inch. i don't use melamine and not sure how much heat penetration there is from an UTH. you might need to make a cutout for the UTH to help. this would be for the bottom and i'm not sure how u could use a UTH for the top units. TBH unless it's a rack, i don't see alotta UTH's or bellyheat being used in melanine or wooden enclosures. it's all CHE or RHP.


LED light strips are easiest to install. they do still give off a lil bit of heat tho.

I plan to put a young corn snake in there eventually

I plan to use screws that are much longer for the center pieces while also drilling pilot holes for everything with wood glue applied everywhere as well

I have found 3/4” boards, and I’ve heard the UTH can’t penetrate through wood. I will do some research into some other forms of heating for the cages since everything under belly is tricky. I may do cutouts on the bottom and then the overhead heaters on top

Thank you very much you were extremely helpful
