Here is my cage i just built its 5'6 x 28"w and 20" d. had to build it to fit the corner of the room. its made of 3/4 in berch plywood on top and sides with a malamine floor 3/4 inch. i used malamine for its smooth surface easy clean up and water resistent. (had luck with it b4). then i caulked the corners. as u can see its simular to the neo design but my doors flip upward for easy axces. i drilled 2 holes on top 9" diameter and stapeled it with screen. the dors are 1/2 inch ply with 3/8" lexan plexiglass the lexan glass is unbreakable so i was able to drill holes right throw it to scret it to the plywood not sure the demension of the doors to be exact . i used 2 hinges on each corner of the doors . and put a handle on each ( really sturdy) when open the doors stay fliped up .
wasnt to expensive to build plywood was about 50$ with alot of extra peices left over .
the plexiglass was about 25$ each sheet they measured about 25" x 19".
the screws and handles and hinges were about 15$.
the screen was about 5$.
(bout 125$ to build )
the cage took a lil time to plan but but actually about 4-5 hrs to buid and some time running around to home depo on my day off.
i got my 6' female green anaconda in there until she outgrows it.
hope i can pass on any idea's .

i just finished it last week. im gonna put a lock on the doors ,then a lock from each door to the cage. not in a hurry my anaconda has a very lazy demiener. will get done this weekend!
nice observation
From the pictures with the door open .... Are the screws holding the lexi in exposed through the wood on the back side ? if so you might want yo find something to cover them as im sure the snake would discover them in a bad way when it gets to discover there there ...

there not screws. i drilled right threw the plexi and threw the 1/2 ply.. and put nut and botls w/ small washers on the inside end. its not pointy. there for wont cause injury.
what kind of lock?? can you show some pics??? i need to build a new cage for my boa soon and i like your idea!
