My DIY Cornsnake Condo

[abynum1]

This is a work in progress, so please bare with me...

This a 4 snake Viv, with each indivual section being 40" long, 15" high, and 22" wide. There's a bottom shelf for whatever. Here's the frame:

Here it is stained, coated with polyurethane, and the peg board attached:

I'm book marking this to show my brother-in-law what I want him to build for me

That's a really awesome set up! I'm going to be building my hognose something sometime soon. Let me know how that pegboard works out, I was thinking of using it too.

What did you cover the flexwatt with? I did a wood enclosure also with the same pegboard style backing I currently only use a cerramic heater but am looking into flexwatt for heating

I covered it with vinyl tile. Got a lot going on with work so haven't had the time to do the doors yet. Hopefully I can get them done by the end of the month.

Gorgeous cage I choose the same stain color for mine but I painted the interior of the cage white using exterior paint to resist any moisture and mold. Also for brightness of the cage and I flipped the pegboard around so it showed white instead of the brown backing.

Swinging or sliding doors by the way?

 

[abynum1]

I'm gonna do hinged swinging doors that are framed so the plexiglass doesn't have to be so thick.

I did the same thing i took 1/2" strips on both sides of the plexiglass for support and used a gate bolt lock on both sides. Mine was not a tower like yours it was just a single cage that had plexiglass on the left and right sides but no where near as good as construction as yours I learned from my mistakes.

It didn't help I only had a circular saw I really needed a table saw

 

[abynum1]

I like it! Yes, it helps if you know someone that owns a shop full of wood working tools for sure! I got lucky on that.

 

[archaic37]

I will definitely try to find someone with a shop next time or do a condo like yours

Awesome, the hole plywood is a good idea too! I know it has a name but don't remember it!

ETA: duh! pegboard

Thank you, and it's called pegboard
