Hey all, well if what i have planned tomorrow all works out i may be having to build a new enclosure for a pair of almost adult imbricatas (fingers crossed ), was just wondering what people think of my 'very rough' plans. went through google and this site scouring for ideas and ive come up with something like this.
Sorry for the size and amount of piccies think i spent to much time building the enclosure in 3d >> lol
Anyways the plan is too have this enclosure in 3 main parts as you can see, 2 enclosures one on top off each other. And they both sit of the ground on a large draw about half the height of one of the enclosures. Rough measurements for this btw are 1200x50x60 (length,depth,height) . Reason being for the 3 parts is i live in a very small townhouse lol and ill need them in 3 parts to get up the damn stairs >>.
I decided to not go for a typical glass door, simply because i am noob and really don't have the time to be buggering around with that lol so I decided to make a simple door frame on hinges, with a piece of plexiglass drilled onto this. The doors will swing down and will be good enough for me lol.
A few questions i have are are installing the light fittings, ive decided to put a small channel between the two enclosures for wiring etc, im just wondering though how exactly does a allready wired light fitting fit into place?? :? I figure you drill a hole lol but how the heck does it sit there without falling, anyone who can explain this to the noob would be great
Is it very hard to cut plexiglass? Or should i just get the required size cut somewhere.
Ok umm... having a mind blank here lol had a few more questions but cant remember them right now, too much time modeling the enclosure lol >> will update questions tomorrow if i can remember them
Anyways any suggestions to anything or comments would be greatly appreciated as this will be the first one I build and have no experience in enclosures
And ps, i kno the picture plans are way off, ill build the bottom part high enough so that the door (which is only roughly 60mm high btw wont hit the ground.
