Home made boa enclosures

[Pueblo]

Hello everyone
ive been biulding some custom snake enclosures for some of my smaller snakes. Along with my columbian i have a peublan and two balls one pastel and one im not sure if shes regular or some other genes. And one lutistic texas rat. I took a book shelf and started converting it into a display cage. I put plywood for the back and i made my own styrafoam backround and i instaled florecent tube lighting in all three sections. And i put weels on the bottom for easy moving. I also used rope heating under each level. If anybody has any good sugestions or ideas i would love to here them. Thanks everyone.

What is the foot print of each section? And what exactly are you housing on each level?

im going to be housing a lutistic texas rat on the top level and a pueblan milk on the middle and a ball python on the bottom i still have to finish it with the sliding glass front each level will have its own entrance. i need to get a more updated pic of how it looks ive done alot of work to it since. but thanks guys for your interest. oh yeah the backround is father along as well i grouted, painted and sealed it with a product called seal all.

A ball python won't use that vertical space. They need a longer enclosure rather than a taller one. Just something to think about...

If you are housing a rat snake, a milk and a ball then why did you call it a home made boa enclosure?

because i am also making a boa enclosure aand im looking for some ideas and coments on this one so i can put them towards my boa enclosure. its going to be eight foot long four feet hight and four foot depth. i know ball pythons like floor space but the two i have seem to love to climb as well so its sort of a mix of both. tonight ill measure it so you can get a better idea of size. it seem small in the picture but ive had them in it to see how they react and they seem to enjoy it. and also if i find they out grow that i always have a back up enclsure for future pets or i can always sell it after. this one is my trial run to get the kinks out.

I was hopping maybe some other members might share some of there pics and desighns on some of the enclosures you guys might have built. im trying to desighn the best enclosure i can for my colubian boa. i want it to look as natural as i can to be a display piecebut also as functional as i can.

First, that's an AWESOME enclosure! Really nice job. I agree with the others, maybe not perfect for your species. Have a look at some of these enclosures. There are several people here with tons of creativity and skills:
