Hey everyone, basically I want to build a custom enclosure for my 2 year old diamond python, this will be a first for me and I figure even though I have done a fair bit of research it would be good to get some tips from you guys, my first thought was to completely build the enclosure from scratch, but now I have had a second thought after seeing some other posts on this forum, I was thinking of converting a second hand tv cabinet into an enclosure, been looking on gumtree and whatnot and came across a few nice looking cabinets, what id like to know is what would be a suitable timber to use, iv heard pine and a couple other types of wood are bad for your snake, also if I need to varnish, stain or seal the timber are there any precautions using such products when working with reptiles, if any of you could help me out I would be very greatful, and any other tips or information you guys can give me on custom building enclosures would be quite helpful, cheers, dan.
