Re: How to build 4x2 enclosure for $100
First off, a 6x2x2 would definitely be OK for an 8 ft snake. And as far as using acrylic or other materials for building, that would be entirely up to the individual, but for the most part shoots the $100 thing out the window. Cost for most other materials can be quite costly. I had looked at building a few for myself out of expanded PVC, but after checking out the cost of materials, I personally opted for some thing quite a bit cheaper, and much easier to work with. Acrylic for example is quite costly when compared to melamine, and many people don't have the right tools neccessary to work with it. If you do choose to go this route, they have special glues made for acrylic that actually melt the two surfaces and somewhat bond them, but I'm not sure how well this would hold up to the weight of a snake. They also have special welding equipment for plastics that can be used, but they are expensive, and usually only carried by specialty companies.
