Just finished building this project. The condo holds 11 snakes and each compartment has it's own heat tape. There are 3 banks of lighting for veiwing and cleaning purposes. The condo is fairly large measuring 81"H 72"W 24"D. The middle divider in the upper LH compartments (where the jungle carpets are) slides out to let them be together during mating season.Cheers! Rich
Wow! That's really nice! Great work!
Now, what did you do to provide lighting? Are there lights in the middle and bottom sections, too?
I would love to do something like this eventually.
Lights, yes. 11 enclosures divided into three seperate switches. I just had some of them off in the pics.
Looks like that will work out great man!, congrats!
Good move on the caulking the joints everywhere too!

Very nice job.
Are you using heat tape for the JCPs as well? Is it under the melamine? (Is that melamine on the inside?)
Have you tried radiant heat panels yet?

Yes they do have heat tape. The floors of each enclosure are 5/8 particle board grooved and routed for the tape and wires then a 1/8 layer of hardboard glued on top. Then sealed and painted. And I do have a radiant heat panel in my burms Vision cage. The way I have a the electrical done here, the tape was an least expensive option. Rich
