>>... who thinks these look like a lot of work for not very much gain? How do you heat them?

>>To me those cages don't really have any hides. If I were you I would spray paint the lower tubs black so they are dark and I would just fill the whole thing with spag moss. Then add a clay pot or something to give a dry hide on top. That was the beauty of the true Applegate cages. The under trays were solid colored and small so they actually worked well to provide security. Just my .02
Pretty condenscending from someone who I think I got my all thread hatchling rack idea from....
Also....Do you know how dark it gets in the back of these cages on the top floor? Pitch black.
And there is sufficient amount of spaghnum moss in the moist hides for them to cover themselves completely....
The water bowls on top are wide based dog bowls that not only give them water to drink and soak in, but also give them a hide.
Heating is achieved exactly like an Applegate Enclosure....Heat cable is zig zagged on affixed cup hooks in the back (bottom of top floor and bottom of bottom floor).....The tubs set right up against them......
Not alot of work at all if you can read a tape measure and righty tighty some screws.......
And I know ALL about Applegate Enclosures....I currently have 22 snakes housed in them...
I would love to see yours.....
