So far so good... There is no heating element on the cool side currently, just relying on the ambient temps in the room. I'll figure out something this winter if I need additional heat on the cool side though.

Thanks.. hey is there any way you can get a closer pic of how the glass is held to the tank?
Cleaning shouldn't be bad. All the wood has been stained and clear coated with a waterproof sealant. Should be able to spray and wipe clean... The linoleum is the self-adhesive kind, and is stuck to the wood sub-floor. It's not a very strong adhesive, so I can fairly easily remove it if needed. And yes, the plexiglass is screwed onto the front of the enclosure. I'll get better pics posted in a couple days.

Just go about 3 to 4 inches up each of the wooden walls with linoleum and that will catch most of the fecal matter that tends to get smeared. Really helps when it comes cleaning time. Looks good though. Did you build the box or convert an old chest or something?
I thought about something to go around the edge, but I wasn't sure what to use. I'll look for some silicone this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion. And no, this is all built from scratch. The sides and sub-frame were built using scrap 2x4's, and the sub-floor, back and lid are made from a sheet of 1/4" birch plywood ($15 at Home Depot). I got the plexiglass also at Home Depot for $15 for a 30x36 sheet, which I cut down to 36x14 and screwed to the front of the frame.

Thanks for all the comments. I promise, better pics will be coming soon, and more of the snake too...
