Working on a huge pine enclosure. Plan is to put large frogs into it (probably my Peron's for now once it's done, and later adult Magnificent Tree frogs depending on how many of my morphs make it to full adult size) but it may end up being a green tree python enclosure someday. =)
False roof, hinged lid, going to have a big full glass front door once I save up the money. You can see all the pics here: Deluxe Frog Enclosure - Quoll's Photos | SmugMug
I've attached some of the 'complete' photos here. The enclosure and the cabinet/stand are separate, next work day (I can only work on it once a fortnight as my days off are random) on it will be wood putty and sanding and starting to work on placement for lights and features.
Will include (in the end) a full custom background (which I'll be making a mould of so I can cast more later in resin), pool, waterfall, plumbing with a fogger and hygrostat, etc etc. I'm excited to get it done but it may take the next 3-4 months at this rate!
Enclosure is approximately 1.2metres tall, 90cm wide and 60cm deep. With the false roof area in place the internal dimensions are approx 100x90x60. The cabinet is an additional 50cm of height, plus I'll be adding locking caster wheels at the end. =)

Which brings me to my next point, I have enough scrap bits of wood to make a second smaller enclosure with sliding front glass doors. I don't want to actually take an order for an enclosure (since it could be a month before it's done and I don't want to leave someone hanging if other things come up) but I'm looking for suggestions on a size that would sell well. I'm up for anything up to 3ft tall and 2ft front to back. Not sure about width. I was thinking 3x2x2ft but maybe a bit taller would be nicer in the pine?
I'd be putting it up for sale as finished and sanded, but RAW pine, no light fittings or anything, put it would be ready to stain, with the glass and the glass runners cut and ready to go. =)
Anyways, make suggestions for sizes that you think would look good! It'll go up for sale here when it's done anyways, so be selfish and suggest sizes you like!
