I built a cage exactly how you are decribing for my dumerils boas. I used a biscuit joiner. The results are pretty but boy is it a pain! If I did it again I would use some screws and only biscuit the front stuff. As far as the sides and top I usually make the sides go straight down to the floor and have the top piece rest on top of them. That makes the top more secure if you put anything on top of the cage, although it makes your cutlist slightly more complicated.
This guy is 3/4 ply. Each cage is 5 foot by 20 inches by 16 high. Heated with flexwat and lit with a flourescent tube in each. The glass doors swing out from the center. There is a bedding gaurd made of plexiglass so it is less intrusive.
excuse the mess
