If I were you, knowing what you are trying to do and what the gf wants....Explain to her that a BIG display isnt as efficient LONG TERM. Go to the kingsnake forum and pan down a couple weeks til you get to a rack built by John Lassiter. It is completely adjustable! I would build 1-2 4' wide containers to put in this rack...for now. You can then add more shelves above and below to make efficient space as your collection expands. You can build these 2 cages with plexi sliding fronts,etc, removable to be cleaned. Heat with flexwatt or the like. The rack may cost $100, the cages about the same. Dont skimp on materials, make the smallest tolerances possible. Sand and finish properly, make the inside water and chemical proof as possible. Combining 2 "little" displays with the rack will be the best use of time and funds and let her see her snakes! FYI, you can also take some great pics of her snakes and blow them up in a frame....that works too,lol. Dont tell her I told ya.
