Wanted to incorporate a cage for my boa on the bottom. Overall it's 72.75" wide x 17" deep x 45.75" high. It fits 6 - 41 quart tubs for adult corns and the bottom cage is 6' wide x 17" deep x 24" high for when Gauge is grown up. I plan to heat everything with 11" heat tape and a separate thermostat for the boa cage seeing as his hotspot is required to be higher than a corns. I also plan to put casters on the bottom for easier moving. The front has a 4" litter dam and I plan to put sliding glass doors on the front that can be locked closed.
I'm curious if that would be enough space for him of should I make it deeper because everywhere I look boa cages tend to be 24" deep. The lack of knowledge on Gauge's exact species perplexes me too.
Also any other ideas would be awesome. Here's the cut list: (everything in inches out of 3/4" melamine)
3 - 72.75 x 17 (inner shelves)
2 - 74.25 x 17 (top and bottom)
2 - 17 x 44.25 (side walls)
3 - 17 x 6 (inner supports)
1 - 4 x 72.75 (litter dam wall)
1 - 74.25 x 45.75 (back wall)
Also curious how much this would all cost. Trying to figure it out in my head is making my head spin. Lol. I think 3/4" melamine in a 4'x8' sheet is about 15 bucks here. (or so I have been told) Thanks for reading and any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to build this come summertime when the weather is nice and my corns should be ready for new containers by then.
