2023.06.05 23:24 Murphs_turf Looking for DIY reptile enclosure advice
![]() | Hello all! First off, this may or may not be on topic enough for this subreddit so mods, feel free to remove if needed, I'm just really not sure where to get help on this. I'm designing an enclosure for my corn snake, Murphy, and want to get advice from others who have experience building enclosures or any other similar projects. (for those not in the reptile world I think it can be compared nicely to a very large cabinet) I've never built anything like this, just helped plan and oversee the building of a raised plant bed years ago. As far as I've seen, an enclosure of this style, using pvc and wood, has not been done before. By using both I believe I'll be able to use my materials to the fullest (as in have less scraps leftover) and spend less money since wood is much cheaper. The pvc will mean the bottom and up the sides about 14" is waterproof while the wood on the rest will be sealed with dryloc and also covered up by a diy foam background so there should be no water issues there either. Since I haven't seen this before I want to make sure there isn't a reason that it's not done this way. submitted by Murphs_turf to BeginnerWoodWorking [link] [comments] (If you aren't interested in the reptile aspect skip this paragraph) Also, I am well aware this is a large enclosure for a corn snake. I love my boi and want to give him the best I can. I haven't been monitoring his growth, but since he is already 4 feet long I want to go longer than 4 feet and at that point I figured "go big or go home" so I went as big as I did to make sure he won't outgrow it. It'll also be something I can use in the future after he passes for any other large reptile I may want. I also wanted lots of height since I think he'd enjoy climbing if he had the opportunity. The depth is made to just fit through a doorframe (at least in my house) so moving it shouldn't be too bad. On to the enclosure, I have made 3d models using SketchUp of the enclosure and its stand, but I think sharing that would be complicated and I wouldn't be able to explain it. So, I have made a giant google slides to show the enclosure and explain details. Below I have included the link to the slides, but I know at least I shy away from clicking on links from strangers. I've included a screenshot of the model to help prove that this really is something I've designed, so hopefully that can ease any fears. Please, please check out the slides if you want to know more, it has tons of information and pictures from every angle. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mz3u1qdk5umCs-yr9RTWM60SndDOKk9vEFZcMetTR1A/edit?usp=sharing I'm interested in any thoughts on feasibility, let me know if you think it can actually work and would be able to support the weight of itself and everything to go inside. Within the slides I have a few specific questions as well about how it can all work. All feedback is welcome, just try to be nice about it please. I've also got tons of information to share about this so please ask me any questions you may have. If you know someone who has already done something like this let me know so I can reach out to them for advice. I did watch a ton of youtube videos about diy enclosures and that is where I got the idea of building a frame and attaching walls to it. An example of one of the videos I watched that used that method here: DIY REPTILE ENCLOSURE UNDER 60 BUCKS 4 X 2 X 2 STEP BY STEP BUILD - YouTube I did put the walls on the inside of the frame though instead of the outside so that the wood studs would not be exposed to the moist conditions inside the enclosure. I also think the studs on the outside look pretty neat. Even if you don't have any advice, if you know of anywhere I can get advice on building this (and whether or not it's a good idea to have something this large and heavy in a second-floor bedroom) please let me know, I want to make sure it's feasible before I start sinking money into materials. (If this post looks familiar I posted essentially the same thing months ago to the herphomes and bioactive communities) https://preview.redd.it/n0isdnfqm94b1.png?width=685&format=png&auto=webp&s=17114510b1f4eb5c75ffa073169ca94dd850d351 |

2023.06.05 13:06 Lucky-Club6726 No fence with deer
![]() | We have a full Snow White yard! My son put his yard ornaments in the garden, and so far we haven’t had a problem with the deer eating anything! I don’t know if it scares them off or if over the past year we have come to some sort of agreement lol. I also have some bird feeders I make sure stay loaded out there. And I also feed the deer apples every once in awhile. submitted by Lucky-Club6726 to gardening [link] [comments] But our yard has deer, bunnies, squirrels, birds of all colors and sizes including owls and falcons, foxes, stray cats, and one wandering turtle who like watermelon and usually stays here. I know the animals are normal for most but we lived in Guam and were used to wild pigs, wild chickens, feral dogs/cats(boonies), and giant reptiles. Including a 6 foot snake and a 6 foot lizard stealing eggs from our domesticated chickens. The garden isn’t much as this is my first time caring for a garden when I usually just kill houseplants for fun. I’ve got cherry tomatoes, heirloom and beef tomatoes, basil, strawberries, kale, corn, and sunflowers. |

2023.06.05 06:01 SuspiciousRule4880 Dark spots between eyes and nostril
![]() | My 9 year old corn snake has recently developed two greenish dark spots on either side of its head between its eyes and nose. Both spots look similar and are in the same spot on either side of its head though the spot on the right side is more noticeable. Still eating and drinking well from what I can tell and no changes in how active the snake has been. Any idea on what this could be? I can’t seem to find anything about it online. Any help would be much appreciated submitted by SuspiciousRule4880 to cornsnakes [link] [comments] |

2023.06.05 04:23 pahndabhear Snake Mite "cheese"?
![]() | Hey guys, we noticed the other day that our baby corn has some snake mites under his neck and reached out to our local pet store where we got him. They recommended a soak in warm water with a few drops of dawn dish soap, followed by leaving him in his tank for 24 hours with these blocks of something they called cheese (and no substrate/watefun things which is why it looks like this). We're honestly just super confused as to what this stuff even is and how it works, which would be nice to know obviously. We were told to keep any and all liquids out of the tank while it was in there because it "becomes toxic when exposed to water". Any thoughts? Is this effective enough to eliminate the mites? the 24 hour period is up and he still has a few under his chin. thanks in advance and sorry for the long post. submitted by pahndabhear to cornsnakes [link] [comments] |

2023.06.04 20:20 KonpenV2 Advice needed on heat mat
![]() | So today I’ve found myself with a corn snake. Completely unplanned, but it was being kept in a 12” X 12” X 6” box, without a hide or fresh water, so I’ve taken it on myself. submitted by KonpenV2 to cornsnakes [link] [comments] Went to the local reptile centre, got a 4’ X 2’ X 2’ wooden viv, 3 hides, uv light, heat mat and XL water bowl, with aspen substrate. I was not told about or advised on a stat controller for the heat mat. Since being home and setting up, and with my partner doing further research, it seems that it’s a must. The heat mat is very hot to touch, despite the instructions saying it’s a gentle background heat. I need advice on what to do until tomorrow, as the shops are now closed. Do I leave it on and the snake will regulate it’s own temperate between the gradient in the viv? (Temp being 28c on one side and 22c on the other side). Or do I switch it off until I can get a mat stat? |
