Ball Python Cage (Empire Strikes Back, Dagobah theme)UPDATE #4

After nearly six months, I'm finally getting around to posting an update.  Unfortunately I still haven't made much progress.  Much of the styrofoam sculpting has been done.  The back wall and Yoda's hut should be complete soon, I will then move on to the tree on the right.  Stay tuned.

The back potion will be fixed in place.  The front will be removable for access.

The pool has been formed, and the first coat of water stop cement has been added.

Ball Python Cage (Empire Strikes Back, Dagobah theme)UPDATE #2

Adding entryway, window, and point at the top.  Doesn't look like much, but it's getting there.

Screen shot from the movie.  This is my inspiration.  I will have to veer away from the original in some aspects in order to fit the enclosure, and meet the animal's needs.

Bearded Dragon Cage

Here are a few pictures from 2004, when I build my Bearded Dragon cage.

I think that the Bearded Dragon as well as the cats (all five of them) are equally amused with the cage being moved to the basement.

After ten years living in an aquarium, my ball python "Irwin" is getting a new cage.  The cage is being designed with a Dagobah theme.  The foam blob in the pic below will be his Yoda's hut hide box.

Bearded Dragon Cage

While off on paternity leave, I moved my bearded dragon cage to the basement.  My family is growing, and we needed the room upstairs.  Because of the move, I needed to add sturdier doors, that could withstand kids and cats.  I also did a thorough cleaning and fixed a few cracks in the rock work. 

 One of the larger cracks.

 After the fix.

The newly cleaned and repaired cage.  This cage was built in 2004, and is holding up quite well.
