Coffee Table Enclosure

I just thought I would post some pictures of a coffee table I built a lil while ago that doubles over as an enclosure.

Rough draft before painting and sanding.





Here are a few primer, sanded and painted shots.







Here is is set up in my living room....it sat empty for a couple months. I just put my pair of hog Island boas in it.







Thanks for looking!!

Oh sorry about the spots on the camera...its an underwater one and those water spots wont go away!!!!!...grrr.

Wow, that's pretty impressive... I'd love to have a bookshelf/display viv in my living room, but I'm incapable of any type of woodwork.

It's beautiful. Maybe I'm missing it, but how is it ventilated?

Thanks! It has a 3/16 in gap between the lid and the base of the table that provides ventilation.

Looks nice! Now you need a viv/couch combo to match the rest of the furniture

Ya that would be sweet, but I doubt my wife would go for that! I did want to build an enclosure under my bed but never got around to it.

Wow! That's pretty cool!
Stylish and Functional!

Cool idea. Very creative.

How is the temperature regulated? And isn't cohabitation a bad thing, even with Hogg Island Boas? Is that sand I see as a substrate?

I'm surprised nobody has jumped in on this one before me.

That’s a neat idea. Is the top hinged or does it lift off?

I’ve been thinking of building a desk with a similar idea but haven’t gotten to it yet.
