New viv ready to move in!

[lajes]

So here´s my first of three new vivs.
Build on my own from 10mm Forex.
Windows are made of 4mm Makrolon so it´s a very
strong light an power savin viv!

Enjoy!

Very nice! I can't wait to see pics when there is something inside!

Very nice I like the suspended shelf. I have one question for you, the holes in the front, I assume they are ventilation, so what do you have covering them that will prevent escapes but allow for air flow??

 

[lajes]

Oh thats a good question ;-)
They a re for normal 50mm Cubboard ventilations didnt insert
them yet but will make pics when the snakys moved in so you
can see em !

I was researching your building materials and I found the Makrolon but I can not find the Forex, all I find is reference to trading. Do you have an English link to a site that advertises it, so I can figure out what it is that you used?

 

[lajes]

It´s a foamed pvc material other trade names are
wirthapor sry but i didnt know any us sites sellin
this kinda plastics.

 

[Asbit]

Don't apologize that helps at least now I know what kind of a product it is. Thanks for the info. It looks so nice, you said it was strong, could a person build a cabinet out of it meant to hold existing glass tanks?

 

[lajes]

Indeed i think it will be no problem!
I even build racks out of it holding boxes n stuff.
You may need a bit thicker material but it will
work fine and it´s lighter then wood!

 

[Asbit]

Wow what a great idea, are the two materials you mentioned very expensive?

I googled 'forex plastic' and found a few things on it....

 

[lajes]

no they are not very expensive.
makrolon is a bit more expensive then normal
glass but it´s worth every penny.

So here it is and his new owners just moved in after dinner!!!

 

[Asbit]

I have an opinion/concern I noticed that you light has no fine mesh cover to prevent your snake from getting up and onto the hot light it'self. This is a potential danger of burns. By the looks of the size of your snake it would be really easy for it to get up to the light from it;s warm hide.

Just out of curiosity how are you monitoring the temps in side, I can not see any thermometers, or are they well hidden?

Other than that I think it looks great.

 

[lajes]

Ah the light thing is ok they never tried climbing up there and i will replace it by an loomin lamp next week!
TEmp and humidity is controlloed by an external monitor but thanks for your opinion i´m
glad about every advise makin it a bit better!

 

[Asbit]

May I ask what a loomin lamp is??

 

[lajes]

Ah sry i didnt knew the word for it!
It will be replaced by an fluorescent tube.

 

[Asbit]

Ohh I see, no big deal, personally I think your English is really good!
