Note: I'm only 17, I really don't know anything about building,
but I want to give it a try? Hopefully it won't be a waste? XD
Anyway, I want it biiig. Like 6x4x2. But I only have 300 dollars to spend on it..
Would that be enough? Remember, I don't know anything about
building snake cages. =O so please tell me everything you know.
 
Check out the DIY sub-forum in the Husbandry and Basic Care forum.
You'll come up with something.

Oh yeah, find someone near you to help build it.
 
Depending on how nice you want it to look you should be able to do it within your budget.
I just got done building a viv out of oak and its 4' tall 4' wide 2' that divided into 2 units "i kind of went all out on it imo" and kept the cost around the 350 dollar range. But i have been wood working since i could swing a hammer. Just remember if you dont have the tools to do it, it can add up quick buying them.
 
Go for it I really enjoyed building my viv and I managed it for well under what your talking excluding tools. The best bit of advice I can give you is Contiplas Board. It's basically chip board with a coating that makes it look like nice wood, and its really cheap (well it is here in the UK anyways don't know why it would'nt be over there). With all of the kit, thermostat, heat mat, light fitting, glass, wood, thermometers etc I managed it for something like £140 which is almost exactly $200

Cheap DIY stores are your friend. :D
