Just finished these up tonight. Temperary spot, but it'll work for the time being. LOL

Foxy started pushing on everything so I figured it was time for an upgrade...LOL

Don't know who's gonna get the bottom one yet.

Made them all myself, the bottom ones are are 6ftx2ftx18" (each set) with slots for slide in dividers just in case later on I want to convert them to four 3 footers.

Thank ya!

Sometimes I put a coat of polycrylic over the top, but these got the MN weather treatment...left them sitting out in the -40 below all winter...LOL
Driftwood is pretty much cured by nature and doesn't rot very easily.


Thanks guys....LOL Sounds like I better take out extra vacation for all that building! LOL

At the moment they are "halfway Houses" LOL I got them finished up for a burm and a male retic that where outgrowing their current accommodations, eventually adult female boas will most likely take them over as their permanent cages.

One day I will learn how to build cages like you Brad! ( with some help from you ofcourse ) LOL Thoes are just awsome!!! The set up is cool too!!

LOL...well in all honesty I never thought the design itself was that difficult...basically you just build a frame, box it in, and throw some doors on it....bam, instant cage.

But I appreciate the compliments.

Yeah Gimme a couple days here....people keep asking the same thing all the time so I'm fixing to put together a thread on the "How To" of snake caging (at least for the ones I build anyway)....I have some diagrams and what not already floating around the forum but I'm going to put together a more comprehensive post on the subject. Stay tuned!
