Dang Newbies...don't they ever go away?

Hey there! Just your standard musician trying to make a living working part time in a pet store here...and I've just recently acquired two gorgeous herps--a juvenile Chinese Water Dragon (named Pythagoras) and a nearly-mature Columbian Rainbow Boa (named China). Being the animal lover that I am, I want to spoil these guys as much as possible...so I decided this community for vivarium construction would be an optimal place to post any issues I may have in the near future once I finally can start fleshing out the dual (side-by-side) vivarium I have planned to house these guys.

But yeah...other than that, feel free to ask me whatever. I'm usually pretty open about stuff.

I was thinking of having each section about 6 feet tall, 4 feet long, and 3 feet deep, with a storage/structural space underneath about 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall...so overall, the unit would be 8 ft. by 7 1/2-8 ft. by 3 ft...and a little change (I think...I haven't done much starting from scrap construction before, so this will be all new for me).
