Larry,



I hear You on compromises, and You're faaar from the only one who makes them, and for legitimate reasoning, so I understand. I'm just a naturalist and all into aesthetics, but of course practicality and ease of access to everything (exempli gratia, water bowl if applicable) above all, and which make way for safety in the case of hots.



I have taken ALL details of ALL personal setups on here to mind and have been thinking hard of which commercial enclosures would be best, and funny enough, I was all over the Neodesha website some weeks ago (used to be obsessed and long for their products in the late 90s/early 00s before they went out, but I never had the money as an early high schooler). They may not be stackable, but they have the racks.



I think their prices seem fair for not actually owning one, I just need to get the money, heh. Otherwise, I am contemplating going back on a teen activity of sketching/detailing some custom-built enclosures by my own hands.

>>If you have the space and time to maintain more attractive and/or naturalistic enclosures, more power to you. I took in a bunch of snakes that needed homes (basically the refuge ran out of space) and have to make compromises for space and efficiency.

>>Just make sure you put some (more than some) thought into what kind of enclosures you use. Many very nice looking commercial cages are very difficult to open without getting your hand close to the opening (most cages with two-piece, sliding fronts) and many have blind-spots where a snake can hide.

>>Neodesha cages are very nice in this regard as the ones with the one-piece. sliding front can be pulled out from one side and you never have to be within the width of the cage from the opening. Most of them don't stack and many people don't find them terribly attractive, but they are almost as easy to clean as my el-cheapo containers.
