Daughters rescued a snake so I made a home for it.

two sheets of 18mm white Melamine to match their playroom furniture.

all dominoed and glued together.

Its a pretty basic design, the bottom cupboards flop down on Euro hinges I used the LR32 to route for those. The cupboard fronts have a 22.5 degree chamfer on the top to act as pull down handles.

This was the most complex/tedious bit, I had to route out a recess 12mm of the 18mm depth with a 6mm ledge for glass to sit on to allow for the heating pad system to sit underneath without touching.

all finished happy snake and happy daughter

Looks great! And your daughter is way braver than me, If I'd saw a snake, I'd run ... Snake  [eek] [scared] [scared] [scared]

Kind regards,
Oliver
 
Nice!  I’m sure your daughters love it. 

Better your girls than mine.

I’m with you. I would probably hurt myself trying to get away.
 
Definitely nicer than anything I'd make.  I'd cut a length of PVC, glue a cap on one and, install snake in, glue cap on other end, plus someplace no where near me.
