::I figured you have to have a door for the subfloor or you'll never be able to get the snake out while he's down there.



Actually, you don't need a door for the sub-floor area. Many people leave that area open and just slide their box out just like a lidless rack system. If you use a solid colored box you can offer the same amount of security you mentioned.



However, if you like having a door so it can be locked and visitors don't pull the boxes out, etc., a door over the subfloor is a good idea.



::For simplicity I was going to have one bottom hinged plexiglass front door and just black out the portion which covered the front of the subfloor so it would be dark and private in there.



Sounds like overkill when you could use left-over material or a piece of lumber that will look nicer and cost less than a piece of acrylic.
