New Herp room - All new Enclosures Too.

[moose]

Well its time for me to upgrade everything.

I bought a new house and i am sick of my current set up pretty much.

So i decided to Splurge a little and invest in some decent Enclosures, and Develop the Herp room into Something Practical. (Its actually a Self Contained Flat Under my House)

So heres a few pics and i will post some more as i progress.

Wow moose! That is looking good.
If you can, do a how-to on making those enclosures I know they may be simple but my brain doesnt work lol.

Keep building buddy, no time for taking photos just yet..

 

[Jozz]

Is that going to be 2, or 4 enclosures?

 

[DA_GRIZ]

that looks awsome so far did u weld that together?

 

[Jozz]

Given there's a welder parked right next to it and it's steel, i'd say yes

Jozz it will be 4 Enclosures, They are 1m Wide and 500mm High and 500mm Deep.

I am Building 9 of these units in total , (2m wide 1 mtre high) and there will be different combinations of enclosures. This one is for the Wifes Central Beardy's and the next one will be for yearling Pythons.

The Measurements have all been taken to suit the room in which they are going into.

Yes all the steel Frame was welded. I wanted Strength in the design as they will be stacked - 2 banks of enclosures high.

Incidentally, Does anybody know of somewhere On-line to buy Cheap Fluro Light Fittings in Bulk? And also Screw type Light Fittings, Not standard Bayonet ones.

Theres actually a small warehouse of gear that i need, but one step at a time i guess.

New pics of the first 2 banks.

Thanks heaps Guys for the comments.

Here are some more pics to keep everyone updated.

As you Can see from the pics, They have been stained Internally but not the Outside.
The reason for this is that as each bank will be stacked on top of each other , it would be pointless, you wont see the ends or the tops of the banks.

But for aesthetic purposes the front will have a Timber surround Covering the steel frame and Window tracks, stained in the same colour.
