Plans for large enclosure

[Red Earth Exotics]

Hey folks, I thought everyone might like to see the plans for my 8'X3'X2.5' enclosures I built. I am planning on using the same basic plan for my extreme giant enclosure with a few minor tweaks. It will be 10' foot long and 4' deep and 3' tall. Also instead of sliding glass doors I will probably have hinged doors with mesh screening on it.

**Sorry the scans of the plans aren't the greatest. I will try and convert the files from autocad to a jpeg file later. If anyone is interested in them.

Looks good! Nice job, I'm the animal will love it. Is it for a tegu or another snake?

The ones in the pics are for my retics. The next one I'm going to modify it for my extreme giant that's going to be coming this summer.

Were do you get the track for the glass panels? Cost?

Here is the link to where I get the track from....

Don't remember exactly what it cost, but I think I got enough track and wheels for 3 cages for about $35-$40 shipped.

wow I paid like 55 bucks for 3 sets of 4' plastic tracks... I wish I would of known about this place... thanks for the future reference though.


Nice plans and tanks bro!

Do you ever have issues with single-pane glass and large snakes weight against it?

 

[Red Earth Exotics]

no problems yet. the glass in my cages are 1/4" tempered glass. my female retic constantly tries to push at it. that plastic track is pretty tough for it being plastic.

Those look good. It just goes to show that when people put their mind to something they can always just do it themselves. This is a perfect example and so is everyone elses cage builds.

I think thats cool in itself.

That reminds me of the Datsun build I have to do for this summer. Thats going to be somthing as well.
