Getting back into BP's

Tubs are the way to go for easy maintenance...but if you're only going to have one (or two) as pets, I'd probably go with a better looking enclosure. (Tanks suck, regardless.)

I removed Tapatalk within 10 minutes of installing it.
 
I do have custom enclosures for my arboreals...you could do similar for BPs if you wanted.

I'm defiantly doing tubs for my QT, that way I can just toss them. I dealt with mites once they were not fun. Custom built is pricey but I can see the benefit in them.
 
I was thinking those... I they are called boaphiles or something like that. LOL the custom cages I always see people spending thousands on.

Now tell me about this plywood and laminate build, please

It is just that, sealed birch plywood with some adhesive laminate (contac paper). If you do want one out of PVC though I do think there are a few places that sell them for like $200 shipped.
 
What kind of glue is safe? Any specific laminate? Plexi or glass? What type of wiring?

If I go the tub route, what would be the best way to heat? And what is the best size?

Are 40gal tanks still the best size for adult BP?

What do you need glue for? I have used plexiglass and regular glass, I prefer plexi. Your heat tape and thermostat should come pre wired. Heat tape works well for tubs.
 
if you want plastic caging like boaphiles, there's also animal plastics, proline cages and herp cages (Barrs cages). Just some ideas if you don't want to build your own, they aren't thousands of dollars.
