This is amazing!! I was trying to talk my partner in to attempting something like this.. 1) because my empty tank is too big for my corn ATM (2) so I can get another snake!' Lol I saw a lovely boa at the pet shop!!
Anyway just curious how have you attached the plastic runners for the glass slidey front?
As on a vivarium there's already a piece of wood they slot on too and
In your pic I can see the shelves but nothing else. Thank you

There is a white plastic L shaped strip (B&Q), 14mm deep, glued to the shelf then a narrow wooden strip on top of that to raise the runner height a little, then the runner glued onto that. That's why it's just a white strip at the bottom of each viv, the plastic hides all the other stuff behind it.
When I do another I will raise the runner height just to prevent aspen getting in the track. It's not much of a problem though and I like the way I can see 'floor to ceiling' so it's easy to see all the snakeys and easier to clean. It doesn't seem to bother them not having the deep wood at the front, they still regularly lie along the front.

I did think of making some to sell but they are so tall I don't know how I would transport them without an estate or van. They can't be dismantled easily as the shelves etc are all silicone sealed and nailed.

They are 6mm from vivbits on ebay, they have the little raised line running through the runner to make it easier for the glass to slide, cut with a Stanley knife.
