I'll be parting with this unit soon.

But this was an old TV Case

It's about 7 or 8 feet tall.

Big Cage (http://www.thornefolk.net/Midnght/Snakies/Red%20Tail%20Boa/P1010135.JPG)

The main TV holding area was turned into the large main case.
Right near the glass on the sides can be unscrewed and opened for track cleaning and or glass removal.

I put on a plywood backing, then covered wth floor tiles that looked like rock, added the tracks bought the glass panes and handles, cut out the light and heat source in the top storage area for the light and time etc.
Split the base aqrea in two one side for the water bowl th eother for general are and hide (which is removed in this pic, used to be my boa I gave him to a large boa lover she's hapoy with his harem now.)

Under the main are and those two shelves are two more cabinets that have since had the doors removed to house two more cages one on each side.

All in all a decent DYI unit if I say so myself.

BTW if anyone is interested in this monster.
It's going to be passed along.
I'd like to get some money for it but it is a pick up only item.
It does need a little bit of work. Some of the internal tiles need regluing that's it.

There's lots of amenities to go with it or perhaps sold seperately.

Amenities:
Triple Light system flourescent two incandescent ceramics in the fixture three plugs one for each light. Would ship

Another two bulb incandescent light. One plug two on off switches. Would ship

One in tank heating stone. Would ship

Water/dish hide combo large size Would ship

Natural looking rock hide small I'd say Would ship

Log hide small i'd say Would ship

Some various plstic plants as well maybe some other things i've forgotten about.

Two seperate glass tanks.
One has a crack down the side and a clip on lid 20 gallon size i think. Likely only sell the lid unless someone wants the tank to. Would ship the lid and clips
Nother 10 gallon I think with slider lid.

Don't have the sizes as yet for various sized items the wife will size them up some day or when i ask her to.

If anyone sinterested in anything let me know. Prefer to let it all go at once but I know this may not be feasable.
Pick up is in Connecticut.
