Well, my first attempt at burning PVC, and I am pretty happy with it. I did learn that the couplings burn differently than the regular PVC, and that it stinks! LOL! So here is my finished product.

Looks awesome! I never thought about burning PVC until I hit the Bush-League.

But I have done my share of plumbing and I do know that if you take a torch to PVC the smell is not all pleasant. Dont breathe that stuff in! Always burn your PVC in a well ventilated area, LOL!

Looks really, really cool and Im diggin' the ladder effect. Who's the lucky tenant of that neat-o keen-o cage?

That came out very nice. Just what I was talking about. I like the top. I would have never thought to do it like that.

What is a Sabogae cage?

Sabogae boas. Insular Island species that shows tendencies towards being arboreal as well as the ability to live as a ground boa.

Our male likes the top lip of his cage door but he's getting big enough that he'll flip off these days. They needs a climbing perch and I had forgotten all about doing PVC.

Thanks all. For a first attempt and I am very happy with it. Cost less than $20 to make, easy to sterilize, removable for cage mantenance, and looks pretty cool! :)

Adam, I used my dad's blow torch to burn it.

I like the PVC idea it looks like it turned out pretty well. I have used real branches and cooked them in the oven. But I'm limited to the size because of doing that. With the PVC I could basically make any size pretty cool idea. Also the camo does make it look more real and not just plain white pvc. I may try this one my self on my next cage I redo =) Thanks for sharing!!

Great job, I really like the look of those torched PVC perches and branches. Now I just need something arboreal to make one for! LOL

Working on that....

So, I played around with the idea of adding some greenry to the branch. What do you think?

very nice job on the burning, it actually looks liek it's on fire with the coloring of it. the only thing i'm wondering though is isnt that kind of a small cage for an adult jcp or is it just that small in the picture? looks like a 2x2 area to me in the picture.

3 x 2 x 2 cage. The perch itself is 12" wide. I have everything situtated up front, so the entire length of the back is open and unobstructed.
