Im not to worried about the wiring "room" for now, not until I get my thermostat and Flex watt.

Just figured I would update this. O and ya I forgot to clean up before I took those pics haha.
 
Cool. If I were you I wouldn't even mess with the wiring :) No one can see it! but if you plan to change it, then do so ;)
 
A friend of mine just gave me a 4ftx30 inch piece of plexi glass for free :D They had an old projection tv that had a plexi glass as part of the screen so he took it off for me before they took it to the dump. Now all I need to do is get the pegboard for the back and order my Flex watt and thermostat, which will be a while (have loads other things to deal with atm) but at least I got something for it for free haha.
 
Very awesome. Ball pythons don't move quickly so the one door shouldn't be a problem. Will Seth have his own door? Since he'll be right on the floor and you do have a young child that may be another issue to deal with.
 
Yes Seth will move to the bottom. Also The kids CAN open the big one if they tried (not that they are allowed to) so I don't think the bottom door (yes Seth will have his own door :D) will be to big of an issue. I plan on getting the same latch and hinges for the bottom door as I used on the top door but There is a way I can drill a hole with the latches that I can put a lock through them, so I think when I finish the bottom chamber I will drill holes in all the latches that way I can pickup some small locks and keep it locked shut. Im not to worried about my 2 oldest but in around 7 months to a year our youngest will be able to reach that bottom door so I do plan on having it lock some how.

Also there is enough plexi that when the door is done I think I'm going to cut a piece to fit the whole floor of the bottom chamber, then I will just put the heat tape under that. I am also thinking about later picking up another piece of plexi to do the same for the upper chambers. I'm not sure if I will do it for the upper chambers, but its a thought.
 
My two year old son would find away to lock himself in with the snake. I'd love to have a cool furniture viv like that. But we're going to be moving soon and all of the snake stuff needs to be easy to transport.
 
haha, my 2 year old daughter knows now to mess with it, granted I will catch her once in a while standing up on the little table trying to get a better view.
 
Well, I finished it :D

Here it is...

Its not perfect,and the door sticks out a little bit but its all functional and it doesnt look to bad (in my opinion) :D
 
Ok that mmm was supposed to be a test and i was supposed to hit "preview post" but hit "submit reply"

I meant to say that i am not trying to be mean with saying hobo wiring as my son(Im Joe's mom typing)has the same thing.
 
Haha, no problem. Yes I still have the "hobo wiring" in place lol. I Haven't picked up any thermostats yet, that is something I need to get though that way I dont have to worry about adjusting the dimmers a couple times a day.
 
haha, ya its not a big deal. I believe I was the first one to call it hobo wiring lol, but it does work :D
