Hey guys,
I used this guide to make my own enclosure. Worked out great! (Reference source Striking Serpents).
"Supplies
To build this cage you will need the following tools and supplies:
2 sheets of 2ft by 4ft 3/4 inch melamine*
2 sheets of 1 ft by 4ft 3/4...

If I were to want two hinged doors on the front that open out from the middle would I just need to put hinges on the sides or would I still need a glass track? I've never built anything before so I hope I can pull this off!

No track needed for hinged doors. You would just need a couple hinges on the sides and a latch in the middle.

Yea would there be a problem building a 6 foot cage with this method?

And is there a fire hazard with the heating on the wood? I want to make one of these for my BCI, and I'll have flexwatt and a thermostat by then, but idk, seems like a fire hazard, maybe I'm just paranoid aha.

Also, as others pointed out, will it even get hot enough in the cage with just Flexwatt?

Hey thanks this is guna save me time munny and most of all space iv got like 12 tanks. In my basement but no room 4 enny thing ells

Wow what a great idea's for cages. Will be using some of the information for building a bigger enclosure for my RTB. He is only 3ft now, can't wait to get his finally home done soon.

I can't believe I only found this 4 days ago. Will be getting supplies either today or tomorrow. Even I can do this without screwing it up

Though this is an old post I have an idea I was wanting to throw out and get feedback on. Take this design, or any design for that matter, and as an extra added measure use a spray in liner, ie. Rhino Liner or Liner X, or some similar type.
In looking into these spray in liners I found that they are extremely water resistant. Some are even approved for potable water which would lead me to believe that they would be toxic free.
The only potential drawback I could find is that most spray in liners are pretty textured and may be too abrasive, but some offer smooth (texture free) variants.
Any thoughts?? Or other potential hazards??

This Cage design is really great, It can be modified easily to fit your needs the big debacle seems to be Heating, I currently heat my entire snake room, but i think if you wanted to go with the traditional temperature gradient set up your gonna have to splurge for some radiant heat panels. I really think with this type of material heating through from the bottom is going to eventually comprimise the woods structural integrity, so thats a risky option to me, but i may be being overly cautious. you can take this same 4x2 footprint and install a dividing wall to make two 2x2 (roughly) enclosures for smaller species like sand boas or rosy boas.
