Re: First build - Ball Python enclosure

Great first build! :) Keeping it clean and simple is the way to go. I'm interested to see how your doors turn out.

Re: Custom 4x4 Carpet Enclosure

Nothing fancy on the joinery front, Larry; just some 90 degree cuts, wood glue and finishing nails. This project was a much more complicated and expensive than we planned, so we were ready to get it...

Re: Custom 4x4 Carpet Enclosure

The "feet" are just for decoration. I'm going to paint the exposed frame black for added effect. :)

The air holes will be covered with plastic vent covers, so you won't see the chipping. My old...

Re: Custom 4x4 Carpet Enclosure

Almost done. Fitting and sealing the poly liner was a nightmare, and the top of the enclosure wasn't completely square (off by 1/8-1/4"), but I think it turned out almost perfect.

I'm sanding,...

Re: Winter Heating in Large Enclosures

What wattage CHE did you get? If it isn't working, can you take it back and get a higher wattage? Also, have you offered to pay your share of the power bill? Heating and enclosure costs are all part...

Re: Thinking of using some harvested branches.

Are you saying I've wasted countless hours obsessing over rinsing the damn bleach solution off??

Re: Tips and downfalls for first time owner

Who doesn't want to breed these beautiful animals once you get one? :) My point probably had more to do with supporting breeders who introduce countless unknown mutts into a market that is already...

Re: Tips and downfalls for first time owner

It's important to remember that Carpets can get pretty muddy/ugly as adults. This might be stating the obvious, but I suggest buying a known specimen from a reputable breeder and definitely get pics...

Re: A work in progress

Looks like pro work to me. What "material" are you using for the enclosures?

Re: IJ temp cage

Do you have the VE-200D? I don't think the standard 200 model is compatible with incandescent lamps.

I'm thinking one 160w RHP (12" x 43"). The floor is heavily insulated.

Re: Custom 4x4 Carpet Enclosure

Thanks for all your help, Formica. I had the damnedest time finding plastic runners. No one in town has them, not even specialty glass stores, and I couldn't find a seller from the U.S. on eBay....

Re: artificial grass in the enclosure?

Do it! and let us know how it works. ;)

I would buy two of everything, so I have a clean section ready to replace a dirty section at any given time. That would make routine cleaning less of a...

Re: Brazilian Rainbow Boa Enclosure Advice

I have the same tank. You will definitely need to cover the screen top. The T8 strip, daytime spot and infrared are going to zap the humidity in your cage, and heat rises...
