They'll love it. If you build the height up even more, though, believe me, they'll use it! A couple of high rock towers with a wide-enough-to-run-on branch running more or less horizontally and you'll see them bouncing up and down like parakeets. Just make sure you leave about 6 inches of clearance under the screen, or some will jump against it too much. I had that problem with Pancho and bought a taller (28" cage before I figured out that all I'd really needed was lower the perches a few inches. Obviously you don't want the highest point right underneath the MVB, but when they're warm enough but just feel like just resting for a few minutes and watching things it seems all of my lizards prefer a low-90s elevated ledge to a low-90s spot of ground. And it makes reaching in to handle or handfeed them much easier. Those Magnatural ledges would be great, too, if it weren't for the fact that 75s have such thick glass. Might be able to rig one on if you added an extra hardware store magnet or two for extra oomph. Don't get me wrong here. I think yours have a sound habitat as is, but the mid-level space is there anyway. You paid for it, so you might as well have fun with the whole thing! ----- 0.1 2006 Western Hognose (Bebe) 0.1 age unknown Cane Toad (Hengo) 0.1 2005 White-Banded Sheen Skink (Minerva) 1.0 2006 Northern Diamondback Terrapin (Queequeg) 1.0 2006 Madagascan Speckled "Hognose" (Sigmund) 1.0 2008 Bullsnake (Winkle) 1.2 2008 Eastern Collared Lizards (Pancho, Lupe, and Chica) 2.0 2009 Eastern Collared Lizards (Cesar and Nino)
