Here is a picture of what we're working on. There are 8 more cages going in, we should be done this weekend. I'll post more pics of the finished product next week.

The top, back and sides are made with melemine. The floor is regular plywood with laminate glued to it with contact cement. The front is maple plywood and the door frames are solid maple. The 4 cages on bottom are 6'x 3'x 16" high, with shorter cages I don't like to make the cage more than 3' deep because it makes it too dangerous to get big snakes out if you have to crawl into the cage to get them.
The heat is flexwatt, recessed from the bottom and the thermostat probe is between the flexwatt and the bottom of the cage.

Hillbilly is right about the different materials he listed by cost below. It depends on how nice you want to make the cage. Ours cages are in the living room, so I wanted to make them like furniture. ----- Randy and Michelle
