One of my more unique designs… commissioned by a reptile research facility, it is built in solid red oak. It yields 6 snake compartments coated with golden oak stain and sealed with marine varathane. The center column is hollow with an access panel. The column houses a large heating element tape and regulator. There are circular perforations at each cage wall and the heat radiates outward from the hot-column into each of the 6 compartments… very happy snakes!
