Sobeks NEW Enclosure 8 footer

[TeguBuzz]

Here are some pics of Sobek's new BoaMaster. Heavy cage, but other than that, pretty good - measurements seem off with the height though. I'm uploading a video of Sobek with the enclosure included. Video link included as well.

What are the measurements on it? Did you order the 8' reg or 8' tall?

I ordered the 8ft reg, but asked for it to be 8x3x2.5, it looks like I got the listed 8x3x20.5 instead.

You realize the 8' tall is 8x3x2.5.

The 8' regular is $400 and the 8' tall is $500. Both are plus shipping. Boamaster.com.

^ With shipping and all that, I paid close to 700, I got the reg which as stated above, cost 400. It was delivered in an 18 wheeler and put in the garage using a fork lift.

What did you use to seal the seams?

What did you use to seal the seams?

Drylok, I've sealed the bottom up, as well as the corners - but left the roof, need to redo the locks on the doors, so once that's done, I'll seal it up.

 

[james.w]

Did you use any caulk? Drylok doesn't adhere well to melamine.

 

[TeguBuzz]

No, I passed by it at Lowe's though. Should I buy some and use it over the Drylok? I noticed that in my back right corner the Drylok seemed to go through the seam, didn't do much sealing, the rest worked somewhat fine though. I haven't moved the water tub in yet so I can easily repair any flaws.

Melamine is really tricky, if not sealed perfectly even the smallest amount of moisture will destroy it. I would caulk all of the seams, especially where the bottom meets the sides, front and back and up the corners at least a foot. I have had a few melamine enclosures fall apart fairly quickly from moisture.

Will do, thanks James. I'll get it done tomorrow and begin the interior furnishing after it's all completed.

Good luck, wouldn't want that cage to fall apart after all the money you spent on it.

Thanks, I got it done a few minutes ago, just have one corner left I plan on finishing later tonight. Letting it dry now.
