Displays for expos?

[Freakie_frog]

I have seen some pretty nice displays that breeders use to hold the deli cups with animals and the clear plexiglass or lexann. Heres my question(s) are they something I can order or do you guys make them? do they have heat and light options, ect.

Any help would be hot. Thanks

Heres what I'm talking about if you have never seen them

i got one here: http://superiorenterprise.com/index.php?cPath=23_28. i got the T13 so that i could display both snakes and geckos and it works really well. for heat i just used two lamps, one at the end of each display--i actually had to be careful that it didn't get too hot for the geckos. you can also put heat packs in the display itself, under the deli cups.

when someone purchases an animal you just open the case (it opens from the back for security) and pull out the cup. replace it with another and you're good to go.


EDIT: just saw your photo above--these are different than what you posted, but an affordable option that will hold a good number of animals. i'd love to get displays like the ones you posted, but for now, gotta start small.

looked up a place i've heard really good things about (had to find where i had saved the link): http://www.mdcustom.com/. supposedly they make really great displays, custom made to whatever specifications you give them and have good prices.

I moved this thread over to the General Herp forum for ya...since it's not really about breeding ball pythons...and there's lots of useful info in here for any kind of herp.


Good luck finding what you're looking for!

I prefer to make my own acrylic displays, but you can buy them.

Here's a pic of our table at Daytona.

is acrylic expensive, and do you use a linoleum/plexiglass hand tool to cut it?

Here is a link to "Part 1" of a tutorial i'm writing for acrylic cage building. I don't know when I'll finish "Part 2", but you can see the list of tools that I use.
