New Enclosures for my Burms!

[Burmiester]

Here are some pics of the enclosures I built for my Burms. let me know what you think.

Here is the bottom w/ heat tape placed w/ alum.tape. Tape is reostat controlled. Bottom is 20 guage steel w/ 90 deg.bends for front and back to be attached. Bottom cleats were bent and spotwelded in place w/ slots cut for heat tape to pass thru. Back is made from preforated masonite garage liner.

top is 20 guage steel w/ 90deg. bends at front and back. top braces were machine bent and spotwelded into place.

sides are 3/4" oak plywood w/ hypercure clear finish. top braces extend thru notches in the sides

1 by 3" oak frame is attached w/ screws to lips on top and bottom panels. plexiglass is attached w/ piano hinge and has alum. channel around perimiter for strength. 3- 2" hasps keep snakes inside. The enclosures are stackable and are reasonably light for thier size.
TIA, Bryan

I spent about 700.00 on materials and built 3- 8'long by3'deep by 2'high enclosures. there is still enough steel and plexiglass to build another one, but I would have to buy more lumber and hardware. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
