Well, only one cut finger and happy little accident later, the cage is assembled, sealed, and drying! It looks great, and once the sealing sets, my small accident shall be inconsequential. I'm very happy with it. Even without being sealed it looked sturdy enough to keep in a snake- or at least something of a decent size, maybe not a baby colubrid. With modifications, I'm sure it could though.
It has a fan pointed in it for now, to help disperse the sealant fumes. Hopefully by late evening tomorrow, once it's been drying for around 36 hours, I can start decorating. I'm quite excited! Still deciding on a perch for now, but I can get most of the layout done by tomorrow evening. Nearly all the decor came in today, along with the herpstat 2, and tomorrow the rest of the heating elements will arrive.
With any luck, the weather will be good and I'll get my temps dialed in, and Ziggy could be moving in Thursday! I'm hopeful, as the weather seems to be taking an upward turn, but we'll see.
