Thanks to Tyler I have this killer custom acrylic cage. Dome light is on until I get a heat panel/Helix controller in next week. Gonna' keep an adult pair in it eventually, young male in there for now. The bottom is a drawer of water - so far humidity is stable at 61% which is crazy-good for Las Vegas!

I love the look of an all acrylic cage with one branch and a GTP.....Looks great

I'm living in a room without any view
I'm living free because the rent's never due
The synonyms of all the things that I've said
Are just the riddles that are built in my head
Hole in the sky, take me to heaven
Window in time, through it I fly

Beautiful set-up! I'm not a snake fan myself, but I'd put that in the center of my living room for everyone to admire. Diane

very pretty - both cage and snake!

I am always amazed at how little space a snake can exist in. My brother in Venice, FL (many moons ago) used to deal in exotic herps. He had several snakes, tokay's, iguana, chameleon and others. Some of the cages were built into his hallway so the front was flush with the wall. It was like a museum. Then there was a large room where he could access the tanks from the back and where he kept his feeders and supplies. He ALSO had a 2 person jacuzzi/whirlpool in the corner of his porch/lanai (for you Floridians )loaded with plants - it was like a mini rainforest! He had a free ranging iguana (still small) and chameleon - not sure of species - roaming around in there. His was the first Emerald cobra I ever saw - amazing. He also had an 9' reticulated python. Somewhere there is a photo of it draped over my shoulders and a friend's - don't know who has that pic, would love to see it again. I am a little over 5'1" and my friend not much taller - you can imagine how the thing dwarfed us!

Did someone say the bottom drawer is filled with water...?

CANADIAN CHAMELEONS

Yeah, the bottoms have a shallow layer of water in them (about 3/4 inch). On mine, I run heat tape under the bottom during the day to increase humidity, letting it cool down a bit and dry up at night. Green Tree Python keepers/breeders argue about whether water is proper or not (instead of mulch or a similar product), but the best of the best emerald keepers use water as a substrate, so that's what I have under my emeralds. It's clean, easy, no smell, no mess. Emeralds don't defecate very often, and I only end up cleaning the bin less than once a month because of that. I do water swaps weekly just to freshen it up and refill. My biggest problem is the occasional blood in it after a good meal LOL. I use newspaper or paper towels under my green tree pythons since they are alot messier, it makes the cleaning easy.
