I need to know if I could improve the design before I buy the materials.
>3.5'x1.5'x1.5'
>Inside will be sealed with Behr Build 50 Comision.
>3/4" plywood for sides, back, and bottom.
>Top will br 3/4" plywood with a 9"x2.5' section of heavy wire mesh. (ventalation and for heat lamp).
>Substrate guard on front bottom (3" lip)
>stick down vinyl flooring on bottom inside for easy clean up.
>Plexiglass framed with wood trim flip down hinged door in front, with locks of course.
> outside will be primed and painted with gloss paint.
Also I have read someone who suggested priming and painting with 3 coats or so of gloss paint for interion of cage. Is that wise? Would it be better than my Behr option? any help is appreciated! Oh by the way it is for Ball Pyhons
