Just got one together for a friend who is getting his first snake ever at age 40...ish?
Any way he liked the ones I built for my Boas so I built him one on a slightly smaller scale than mine because I'm setting him up with a Ball for now, so he can get comfortable with the basics.It's getting a fluorescent strip light and radiant heat panel that just came in today from Reptile Basics tomorrow, once my eyes quit burning from being up all day.We still haven't decided what we're going to do for air flow, I'm thinking cupboard vents if I can find some locally, if not we may go another route. He wanted one a bit smaller to be able to keep it in the house, so I made it 4x2x1,figuring that would be enough floorspace for a Ball. He's still deciding on a molding to use, then we'll trim out the face of it, but as it sits it's 95% finished.The only other thing I tried new with this one is that I discovered that Home Depot carries Lexan brand plexiglass. This stuff is much better than the the Optix brand I was getting at Lowes, and seem much stronger even for the same thickness. In this case 1/8", it's advertised as 250 times stronger than glass and I believe it.
