my JCP enclosure picture try #2

Ok, I think it worked this time...This cage is 4'x4'x2' Because of the three levels, it has almost 20 square feet of surface area, (minus the hole in the middle level to access the lower level. It's made from melamine laminated particle board for water resistance and ease of cleaning. It has daytime and night time heat lights, and even has full spectrum lighting. All lights are on timers and set to sunrise and sunset. The heat lights are on rheostats so the temp can be easily adjusted. The pegboard back affords excellent ventilation, and the live plants, which I'm adding more tomorrow, and the large water bowl increase humidity. The digital thermometer monitors the temp on both the warm and cool side as well as monitoring the humidity levels. I designed and built this cage myself, and I'm very proud of it. I hope you enjoy seeing it as much I have enjoyed sharing it and I hope it gives someone some ideas for their own enclosures.

Wow! That's huge! How much was that cage? Where did you get it from?

Did you get it from a reptile show? How much do you think it would be there?

That is one of the nicest snake cages I have ever seen. You have done a great job making it look attractive and interesting. I'd love to see some more pictures of it with the snake crawling around.

Thanks, I have some pics of her exploring her cage, I'll add them as soon as I can. I added some more plants yesterday, 4 are air plants attached to the grapevine, and look pretty cool. Wife's doing homework on the computer with the other pics right now, though. Thanks again for the kind words.
