I picked this thing up today from a guy who used to store his snake in it. Clearly has been a while since, and has be left outside for a pretty long while until I picked it up. Love the size, design, everything, just needing to gussy it up and replace/add a few things so that I can use it for my own. Here are some pics.
I honestly don't know how the guy kept his snake in with no locks, etc.. but anywho...
Does anyone have any tips for me on how they would approach this? The closest thing to DIY i've done is paper mache..
I would also be looking into painting the enclosure at some point, but dont really have the knowledge. Would I need to replace the rusty nails, or should they be okay? I realise i'll also need so sand it down, hose it off, re-nail everything together, etc.
Also the clear 'door' is not a solid.. it's one of those sticky clear couch protector things.. i'll be replacing that with Perplex at some point, and putting locks on the doors.
I'm thinking of putting another platform inside aswell, but no idea what wood i'd use, or how to get it to sit in there.
Anything else I can do?
