just wanted to share the screen cage i just finished. total cost was under 30$ i made it for my racodactylus auriculatus female.
it is 24x24x12. i used a spare piece of black expanded pvc (either sintra or komatex, i cant remember)

as i was saying before i accidentaly posted before i was finished..

i used scrap pvcx for the bottom. the whole thing is just screens screwed together to form a box. pretty much the same thing you see retailed for 90$

Did you bend pieces of PVCX to form corners? I can't tell from the photo.

I'm intrigued...

Current snakes:

0.1 Gonyosoma oxycephala - (Silver/Yellow)

1.2 Gonyosoma oxycephala - (Green)

7.6 Gonyosoma janseni - (Black)

0.1 Gonyosoma janseni - (Black & Tan)

the only pvcx i used is the floor panel. for corners i used plastic corner connector pieces for window screen. they are about 1.00$ for 4 at most any hardware store. here is a link to them below. that price is for bulk , but you get the idea.
i basically made 6 regular window screens and one screen frame with pvc screwed to it and screwed them together. i used the two smaller screens for the doors. the smaller door acts like a litter dam and when i want to clean it out i open both doors and just scoop substrate right out.
