Well I bought a load of contiboard today, and started some cutting before my history gcse this afternoon (I now never have history again ).

After 3 attempts I managed to accurately cut the 3 main side panels for my stack and am going to put them together tomorrow. Once finished it will provide 4 vivs each with 3sqft of floor space and 1ft high.

Will post some pics tomorrow once the exterior unit is together

Id personally use perspex, less prone to cracking easily if knocked much much cheaper and safer for the snake if it does get damaged.
