the dims are 48"x24"x18"H

the corn is a wee snake, about 17"

the left side with the aspen is the hot side, I put the aspen on the hot side so that he can burrow to any depth/warmth that he wants...the temp probe is on the wood bottom where it stays around 87 degrees...I have some wood limbs, but I"m in the process of bleaching it so that he has room to climb

Looks good but you should paint it if you want it too last. You need to seal that wood or it will stink and rot in time.
I built one similar to that for my female boa. I painted it with latex acrilic enmal paint. It's paint intened for concreat floors. It's latex which means it safe and it's enmal which means it will last.
Cheers,

alright, it's got a few coats of poly on there now...if I notice that wearing down, I'll give her a few coats of paint
