Advice on custom snake enclosure

evo462 Aug 24, 2009 07:53 PM

I would like to build (or buy, if it's cheaper/better) a custom snake enclosure. Right now I just have a 90 gallon tank for my adult ball python. The floor space on it is just about right.

However, I want to purchase a few more BP's and potentially breed a couple of them. I don't really want a "breeder" type setup where they're in the rubbermade tubs or whatever in shelves, as they'll be "pets" too and want to be able to display them.

I was hoping someone had some advice or pics/plans on what I could build to house 4-6 adult ball pythons. I want glass/plexi fronts for viewing and easy access to remove the snake (while being escape proof). The enclosure would sit up against the wall so rear access would be out.

Thanks!

I'm definitely not the right person to respond this topic with the answers you're looking for but wanted to suggest that if you do not get many responses over here then kingsnake.com also has as a cage and habitat design forum that is pretty active:

You might check out Animal Plastics cages too; they make some good sized cages and can install lighting. They sell a lot of racks, but make cages in black and white, ranging from 2-8' long. Freedom Breeder also makes some display cages in a few sizes (3 and 4' long) that look nice.
