Building a home-made enclosure

[Brazen17]

I recently finished my new enclosure for my redtail boa. It measures 60x24x24 and is made out of 3/4" oak plywood. I use a 100 watt basking lamp on the hot side which keeps the temp ~86-88 degrees. The cool side runs ~75-77degrees. I designed the enclose so the snake has access to the middle drawer via a pvc tube so the snake could have privacy if desired. On the bottom of this drawer I used a heat pad adhered to a piece of glass (cut to fit the dimensions of the drawer) which sits on 1/2" spacers to keep it off the wooden drawer bottom.
