>>I have a pair of Irian Jaya carpet pythons, a jungle carpet, an olive python, a ball python, a boa constrictor and some womas
Ironic, just yesterday I just got to see my first Woma of that "starburst" morph or whatever they call it. I was blown away. I also got to play around with my friend's Olive Pythons. I've seen them before, of course, but never had a huge tame specimen in my hand. They are simply fantastic snakes.
>>The program optimized the layout for each stack... For financial and practical reasons, the staged approach was the way to go even if I spent a bit more money on wood.
Ah yes, that makes total sense. The melamine was hardly the cost limiting factor here, obviously, so it make sense what you did.
I read in another post your concerns re. durability. I think you'll be fine. If you start to see bubbling issues with the melamine just get some 1/8" expanded PVC (black) and line the floor and sides with it. Your cages will last forever that way.
Melamine varies greatly in quality. The stuff you got may last forever, even without the PVC.
BTW, I also like your method of using dowels to "lock" the cages together. I've played around with using plastic bisquits (no glue) and that works pretty well.
