I have one under the house that I picked up years ago. I am willing to convert this into a hide if someone wants it?

I will post up pics of it when I get it out later in the week and if people are interested I will set about converting it.

It is roughly 300L x 200W x 400H (but this is from memory, probably larger than this) it weighs probably 5-10kgs (it's made of steel). Army green with labels and all that, circa 1940s. Has a removale lid also. Would suit a jungle theme terribly well!
 
If a few people want these, I will try to source where I got this one and take some orders from people (not via the website, just through PMing me on APS).

They will be treated and the hole will be safe for the snake.
 
good idea, I have a similar box, got it from anaconda outdoor, for camping, less than $20, so not too expensive either. would like to see pics of how you convert it.
 
would rust be a problem? The military probably coats them in tough paint though. Good idea, thinking outside the box i like it
 
awesome idea, i wouldn't cut it in any way though, just prop the lid open or something like that..
 
I measured this last night - 325mm wide (i think) x 245mm deep x 305mm high

Here are the pics of it. We even thought of going to a mate's property and trying to shoot some holes in it lol...

yeah mate i wouldnt go cutting into something like that a bit of history maybe take the lid off and put it on its side with some vines or something half covering the entrance

Maybe I should source some boxes that have been in a blast that way the history is still there and its a bit more "themed". :)


$80 with a hole in it (doesn't include postage)
$50 as is (doesn't include postage)
