that's the way to do it! you just saved yourself about $800 as opposed to buying a 'plastic box' of the same dimensions......you can easily take off those existing doors and cut the openings in each of them for your plexi or glass too! also,try putting a foil faced piece of 1/2'' or 3/4''styro completely covering the bottom. it will stabilize the floor temp of the tank & keep the chill off your snake's belly in the colder months. 4' x 8' sheets are available at any home improvement store for less than $10 & are well worth it! good luck & have fun w/ it......

There is a product that mail totes are made of. It looks like plastic cardboard. It is easy to cut and comes in 4X8 sheets. I do not know where to purchase it but used some to line a pigeon loft some years ago. It would make a nice liner for wood cages in that they would be easier to clean. I will try to source it out if anyone is needing some. From what I remember it is inexpensive.

That is corrugated plastic, very common in the sign industry. The air space adds a bit of insulation as well. I have some links stored somewhere.

Awsome, I could use the info, don't know where my info is.

I just took a look and was not able to find it in my caging folder or links.

The most common brand name is Coroplast. You should google that as well as "corrugated plastic".

BTW, I love the pic below of your red coachwhip. I used to keep a lot of coachwhips years ago, inclucing both Red Westerns and the piceus. Only keeping Gonyosoma nowadays (although I still frequent all of the "cool" colubrid forums, including the Indigo forum).

Thats it! Thank you.Coraplast. The male that is posted I hatched in 1997. He is puppydog tame but does not like to be handled in excess of 5 minutes. The pinkest ones that I have worked with are from Elephant Mountain area of Texas. There is a four mile streach of road where they are so pink they hurt your eyes. I made some in 2002.

No problem, glad I could help. BTW, I have typically found that it's cheaper to buy plastic sheet goods locally rather than ordering it. Even though it's light the size is large enough that shipping still adds up. And don't overlook other brands.

Are those M. f. piceus or are they a red form of M. f. testaceus?

Piceus are different. They are found out west. I used to find them near San Diego. There is by the way an all black morph of Piceus.

Okay, that's what I thought. I've not kept up on Coachwhips in sometime. Thanks for the refresher.
