Can I build this for MUCH LESS than 200 dollars? A four foot Boaphile is 200 bucks-tough to beat but it can be done. One example; melamine basic box, hinged top of cage, flexwatt(solder the connections,) linoleum over the flexwatt, aquarium sealant for the joints and an inexpensive thermostat (I use A-life.) You could probably score the linoleum for free (scraps at a flooring store.) Oh, yeah, and some plexi glass for the front. Linoleum might not look real good, but that'll be covered with substrate anyway.
