1st, I'd likeo say that I am very happy with these cages overall. They clean easy, easy to handle. Like the Vision people said, they are stackable but there are some downsides(its not the most ridgid plastic). The light shrouds can make the cage above them very hot, even with the lowest watt incandecent. That and if the light ever goes out, they have to be unstacked. Each level of enclosures heats diferently than the next, so you'll have to run each level with a thermostat controlled undertank heater. Now my set-up is a little overkill, I've stacked them 5 levels high. I would recommend a frame for this, 4x4 legs with 2x4 supports. With a set-up that is 3 or less high a cheap way to stack and still make changing lights easy, are plain jane bricks set on the 2nd longest side(that may not make sense, the side that is around 3.5 inches on a 2.25 x 3.5 x7.75 inch brick). You still won't be able to take the clamp lamp out, but can still change the light. I think ceramic heat emitters would work best for heat, but I like a well lit cage. Makes the snakes look better- optimal viewing pleasure, so to speak. Nice to see you here.
