Help with cageing please?

BlakeDeffenbaugh Jan 24, 2007 08:50 PM

I'm looking to build some multi level caging for big snakes. How have you guys built them? I kind of have a idea in my head but I want to see what you guys use to get a better idea of what to do.

Thanks,
Blake

Thanks that kinda gives me another type to keep in mind. I just dont know weither or not to put the heat on the inside or out. Is heat lights or heat tape better?

I highly recommend utilizing radiant heat panels mounted to either the ceiling or to the back wall. They produce a much better overall heat source and do not dry out the air nearly as bad as heat lamps do. Todd
