Has anyone built a wall enclosure? I have an alcove in my entry hall at home and want to build a 1200 x 1200x 700 enclosure for my Diamond python. The enclosure can sit on s stand with drawers etc and a hood on top but I'm keen to surround it all and make it like a feature wall.

Just looking for ideas :)
 
Here's my window enclosure for some inspiration. Its gone through a few different iterations over the years.
Its had tristis, long nosed dragons, boyd's and angles at different times. Its around a meter square and about half a metre deep.
The other side of the wall is the garage so I simply built in a cupboard around the back of the enclosure.

No, you cant access them on the otherside, Its just a straight wall. Sliding glass doors for access, with vents on the cool end side for temp gradients.

Well I started the framework today, a melamine enclosure 1500x1200x700 will go in the middle with a slide out drawer and hood as part of it, my big diamond boy should love it.
 
Interested in if its going to be one whole piece? Or 3 different sections? (Hood, enclosure, stand/drawer)?

I say hood cause it's above the enclosure but essentially it will be storage space above and below and a stand alone enclosure in the middle, all light and heating will be inside the enclosure

The back wall of the new enclosure. Step 1. Take a high res pic of Diamond habitat. 2. Have Mrs who owns and runs a sign shop 3. Have it printed on vinyl then laminated. 4. Mount universal rocks over rocks on photo for 3D effect.

Can't wait to see it all together
