Sorry, no pics, but I do have some suggestions if you are making your own:

1) Melamine is a nice wood product to use for making snake cages.

2) Make sure you use extra heavy duty hinges

3) Use TEMPERED GLASS at least 1/4" or safety shatter glass (like that used on windshields)....don't underestimate the strength of these animals.

4) For vents, use industrial style vents, or, extra heavy duty wire coated mesh that is screwed in (I would recommend a wood frame for any mesh vents)

5) Caulk the edges to prevent uric acid seapage

There are others but these are several off the top of my head.

Hope this helps. Rob Carmichael, Curator of the Wildlife Discovery Center
