Hi
Im looking to build a snake enclosure, frog enclosure and a lizard enclosure.
Here is a pic of the starting block, (to speak)
The measurements are as follows:
Left upright = 15 inches X 31 inches ( lizard enclosure ??) (beardies?)
Bottom section = 13 inches X 45 inches ( Green tree frog enclosure ??)
Right big section = 29.5 inches X 31 inches (Snake enclosure. ??)
The depth is 15 inches
Are these measurments suitable??
What kind of snake would be good for beginer, and suit this size enclosure?
All ideas are welcome.
The wife dosen't know it yet, but she is about to loose this cabinet..lol
Looks like i'll have to buy her a new one.lol

This cabinet will be turned on it's side so that the glass door will be on top

I would make the larger compartment up for a Ball python they are great snakes and great beginner snakes. The tall compartment I would use for tree frogs or a giant day gecko. Good luck, the planning can be the best part

Thanks Rainfrog.
As i live in Australia, i don't know if can get Ball Pythons.
But i have found that CHILDRENS PYTHON would be okay, as they only grow to 3 feet, and are ideal for first time snake people.
Tall compartment will be for frogs i think.
The planning IS the best part, as i'm now making a second frog tank and will soon start on the cuboard for snake and frog.
