I added a "lizard hammock" to Julian and Lucius' enclosure, and they now use it ALL the time. I am thinking of putting in a couple more at different heights. They're cheap and can be easily cleaned and disinfected.

Yep, it is. The snakes together are about 2lbs, so use your judgement.

TP Ratsnakes are very much "platform snakes", rather than branch/tree snakes, and I am always thinking of ways to maximize the floor space and usable area of the cage without making it potentially dangerous (i.e. crushing potential) for the animals.
What a great idea. That is great enrichment also.

They definitely look happier than most snakes do in a simple hide/bedding/water dish setup.

Cute pic, by the way!

They are very happy snakes. Their enclosure is in our living room area, and their favorite hobby is people watching. They are much calmer when they can see us most of the time.

Thanks for the comments
