I am in Darwin everything costs a fortune to buy here we don't get the pleasure of bargain prices up here, and all my materials are from bunnings even.

Great enclosure, what are you keeping in it?

 

[candycaine]

even buying reptile product's cost 10 x more then everywhere else so once you buy online and after adding frieght costs its still costing you heeps.

Looks great But I would move the water bowl on the top enclosure as the heat lamp from the bottom will heat it up outher wise very nice

imo, with the amount you spent, and the size of your snakes you should have built something bigger. they look too small for such a big snake in my opinion.

Looks great! Dont get me wrong here but wouldnt it have been easier to just convert a old cuboard or something! Dont worry i know much things cost up there! Bosses daughter lives up in darwin and he tells us all the time how much things cost!

wow thats expensive. im in the finishing stages of making an enclosure for my ewd. its 1915H X 1700L and 750 deep. sliding glass. cupboard on the bottom, enclosure size itself is 1000 x 1700 x 750. all varnished pine paneling. total cost is $400. that is bloody expensive.

that snake is actually only going to be in there for a week he's getting his other one fixed and complete so the 2 snakes that will be kept in there are between 1 year and 2 years old and being jungles they won't grow large. I should of stated that above but forgot to mention it. thanx for your concern though but its only temp.

thats what I always do I just wanted to put my skills to the test in building one from scratch. it will also help with my enclosure business when time comes to starting it up properly.

I want to replace all my second hand enclosures basicly build from second hand material and bases for own designed and from scratch so they look so much better.

I don't see a probablem with paying that much exspecially when its going to house 2 snakes worth $700 - 900 each.
