If you're trying to save money and have a decent looking enclosure instead of a tank then this will help. I make my own wood enclosure and in the future I plan to start doing pvc enclosures. Music: Journey 01 URL: InShot

At 3:08 wouldn't you want to cut the boards to be about 46 1/2 inches long and not 22 1/2 inches? That part confused me a little but great video otherwise

Oh crap! You're right! I think I got confused with the length of the plexiglass. Good call! 8 hours of editing and I still made a little mistake, woops 😬

Thank you for watching! And I'm really glad this was helpful. Be sure to check the pinned comment because while editing I did made a small mistake. But just to make sire you won't actually make that mistake while making an enclosure

Using the tracks for the plexiglass door is such a good idea. I was going to just put plexi glass inbetween two pieces of wood at the top and bottom so it can slide inbetween but the tracks will save material and effort thank you!
@jpslizards2 жыл бұрын
No problem! I actually didn't use the tracks until after I made my first 3 enclosures lol The tracks work a lot better for sure.

Will it hold too much heat if I don’t put vents since my tank is going to have inside heating bulbs ? Because I really don’t want to put vents on my snakes tank if I don’t have to, but I don’t want him to get too hot if I don’t
@jpslizards2 жыл бұрын
Naw, since it's a big set up it has plenty of ventilation. It would probably only be bad if you want to add 2 basking areas

I used liquid nail to seal the inside corners… it’s been drying for 48 hours, some research tells me “liquid nails” is chemically inert once dried, is it still safe to put my reptile in with the corners having the liquid nail on inside corners?
@jpslizards2 жыл бұрын
I would cut what dried on the outside. Normally you want to clean what comes out after nailing it together
@lasabrionwalton99352 жыл бұрын
I used it along the inside four corner of the back the tops and sides, as my build had quite a few gaps along the inside where the boards met (uneven cuts) There is a generous amount of this liquid nails now, I accidentally used it in replace of the silicone, will any residue or chemicals soak into the bedding and cause issues with my Boas skin? (I’m not worried about it being peeled of or eaten)
@jpslizards2 жыл бұрын
Oh ok, I thought it was a lizard set up. As far as I know, no, it will be completely dry after a couple of days. I would still cut the extra stuff though. You can never be too careful. You can also waterproof the set up with drylock
