my new set up!!

saagbay Jun 10, 2008 08:40 PM

okay so after planning, getting material, construction, heating and wiring, final touches, and set up, my new enclosures are ready to go and my girls are all moved in!!

here are a few pictures during construction...

this is the wiring process... i have two switches, an on/off for the rope light inside and a dimmer for the heat tape. i when with the suggested power cords as it saved money instead of having to buy romex wire plus all the ends... so the male end of the cord plugs into the wall outlet and feeds both switches.

and here are a few getting them all set up

here is the switch box mounted on the side of each box

and last all moved in!!! the top and bottom are empty, for now that is, and here is what it looks like

ohhh and here is one before picture so you all can see the vast improvement!!!!!!

thats all i have for now let me know what you all think, thanks for looking!

Thanks Dave, its nice when all your planning finally comes together and becomes a nice finished product. All the snakes have made themselves quiet comfy, including our latest addition Sapheria.
