New Enclosure

[tourett]

I haven't posted anything for a bit because I've been so busy.
So I decided to show some pics of the new enclosures I'm building.
It is 2000 x 2000 x 600. the centre walls are removable (90%) 10% stays for support.
I am putting 4m 15 watt heat cable in grooved area and putting 500x 500 ceramic tiles over the top.
The doors are going to be all glass with no timber frames for muck to get into the corners.
The idea is to too make cleaning easier, so less edges or corners for poop to get stuck in.
I am going to put my 2 yearing Olives and 2 older Diamonds into it.
When the olives get bigger I can just remove the centre wall to give them a 2000 long enclosure.

Looks good. Nice work.

What are you doing for ventilation?
Cupboard ventilators are simple to install and effective if well placed.

Only thought I have is that I hope you don't have to move it much. I have a 4x4x2 foot enclosure and It was horrible to get it up a flight of stairs and through doorways. Looking good so far. nice curves for the heat tape.

What are the advantages/disadvantages with using heat cord in this manner???? Do you still require a heat globe/lamp (for pythons!) or other sources of heat????? Does it matter if the heat source is coming from above or below the python????? I like the idea of the heat cord but a guess I'm trying to establish wheather or not its adequate as a stand alone heat source?????

I'm going to put it on fridge wheels so is easy to move.

I will still put in fluro light, but I think this is more than adequate as a heat sorce and alot cheeper.
