making an enclosure

[CASHO_B]

what is the best material to make an enclosure out of

[MrBredli]

HMR melamine!

[Adzo]

I use cotton to keep my snake contained.

[CASHO_B]

could you use pine and then paint it to water proof it

[gosforddreaming]

yes you can , i use a 50/50 mix of water and wood glue to seal the timber than finish of with a good wash and wear paint .....

[OzRocks]

just make sure you give it a good airing if you paint the inside,
you dont want any fumes hanging about when ya put ya herp in there, and thats why i suggest melamine also because its easier to clean

[gosforddreaming]

yes thats right OZROCKS , two weeks is a good time to wait before adding your rep to a newly painted cage . paint fumes and also fly spray can give your pythons brain damage...

Nothing wrong with ply, about 14mm, and seal it with something like cabothane

[wood_nymph]

mine's made from ply which was then sealed and water proofed. since moving from glass tanks i love the wood look and the fact that it hold heat so well., moved just in time for the cold snap too
