There is nothing worse in the world than a cage that cannot get clean. Everyone has probably had one of these cages at one time or another. Looks great, seems like a wonderful idea, then BAM!! Big, stinky, dirty cage that never gets fully cleaned or even smells clean no matter how hard you try, or requires hours of dismantling decorations, etc. to get into every nook and cranny!! I even quit putting natural stones in my cages as shed aids due to having to scrub when pooped on, and some never getting the stains out. If I cant pitch it, I dont want it!!



HOWEVER, I do understand your desire to have a nice display. As long as you are willing to take the time and effort to maintain it, then kudos to you. If you are dealing with larger snakes, you may want to check out some of the glass fronted bookshelf units you can get a Walmart, Kmart, or an office furniture supply store. With some sealing at the joints with silicone, and maybe installing plexiglass or vinyl floor tile on the bottom, etc., you can get a really large cage for alot less than buying a reptile specialty cage.



Good luck!!
