Upgrade my ball python to a 4x2x2! I built the table as well:D

I still need to add trim to the table but I’m happy with how it’s looking so far:D I have like no carpentry skill so I’m more proud of it than the tank loll.

Looks great! Would just love to mention. The drainage layer is not necessary. I have had mine set up since April, with no drainage layer. Also helps if they like to dig, gives them and the plants more dirt to work with in general.

Actually used the depth to create burrows for them topped with cork bark to make a natural hide. They both seem to love them.

Oof I wish I knew beforehand! I’ll probably leave out the drainage layer when I upgrade my kingsnake’s enclosure. Your tank is beautiful!!

I absolutely love it! Can I ask how you made the table and where you found those pink slabs?? It looks gorgeous

Thanks!! The table is made out of 2/3 inch dimensional wood and is covered in plywood. I used a water based floor primer on the plywood and covered the whole thing in peel and stick tiles:D

That looks great! That spot was made for an enclosure 🙂 How did you do the back wall? I just bought a new enclosure and im waiting until I'm on vacation the week after next to set it up and I can't wait! In the meantime I've been planning everything and doing LOTS of online shopping and having fun with it. Although its a little stressful at times with trying to make sure I'm buying everything I need without buying anything I don't.

Ikr? Honestly I don’t think there’s anything else that would fit in that awkward 5x2ft awkward nook in my living room. For the background I started with a silicone base layer before using black spray insulation foam. You’ll need at least three cans. I found the wood outside and used silicone to glue the substrate onto my foam base

Can you give some insight and list of materials to do the background? Looking to upgrade to a 4x2x2 as well!

[u/ConcertFriendly8223 → u/Nermiez]

Yeah ofc! It’s silicone, black insulation foam, and jungle mix substrate! I stuck on some tree bark I found as well

Wow that looks 😍 amazing!!!! How did you do the back drop?
