Oh crap! You're right! I think I got confused with the length of the plexiglass. Good call! 8 hours of editing and I still made a little mistake, woops 😬

Thank you, this was perfect straightforward, nothing fancy, and it is functional!

Using the tracks for the plexiglass door is such a good idea. I was going to just put plexi glass inbetween two pieces of wood at the top and bottom so it can slide inbetween but the tracks will save material and effort thank you!

Could you use belly heating for snakes on this enclosure? And if so, how?

@jpslizards

2 жыл бұрын

Definitely, but it would have to go inside. Exact how? That I wouldn't really know because I don't use them. You would need to make sure the mat is below something that can let the heat go thru, like glass

Will it hold too much heat if I don’t put vents since my tank is going to have inside heating bulbs ? Because I really don’t want to put vents on my snakes tank if I don’t have to, but I don’t want him to get too hot if I don’t

I used liquid nail to seal the inside corners… it’s been drying for 48 hours, some research tells me “liquid nails” is chemically inert once dried, is it still safe to put my reptile in with the corners having the liquid nail on inside corners?

I used it along the inside four corner of the back the tops and sides, as my build had quite a few gaps along the inside where the boards met (uneven cuts) There is a generous amount of this liquid nails now, I accidentally used it in replace of the silicone, will any residue or chemicals soak into the bedding and cause issues with my Boas skin?

Oh ok, I thought it was a lizard set up. As far as I know, no, it will be completely dry after a couple of days. I would still cut the extra stuff though. You can never be too careful. You can also waterproof the set up with drylock
