I use these tubs to house 2 bci 1.1. The male is around 5ft and the female is pushing 6ft.

"Heated with Human Heat mats and dimmers"

"0.1 Inside the tub."

"Same girl stretched out"

"The male stretched out he lives in the bottom tub"

I have one of those VE175s and I hate it. I put an ultratherm the length of it up one side, my room is 80F it still wasn't enough. So I added two heating pads for humans under that on one end, and I finally got into the right range. I had to melt over 200 holes in the sucker to get enough ventilation, including half of those in the green top. The way you have it you'd have to move the top cage to get into the botom one. I can't wait to get rid of mine.

Not one complain here. Maybe a rack so i dont have to remove the water when i pick the top one up to get to the bottom one but all in all i love them. Id stack them this way 4 high when i get many snakes. Thats going to be some time though.

You are going to hate a 4-high stack of those cages. I was only stacking 3 high and I hated it, finally got a few racks built for them. I'm going to use heat rope to heat them, hope it works out well.

I've got two, and I like them so far (have 2ft of flexwatt 11" on one side of each tub, temps are good and I'm up north), especially for the price.

I drilled ventilation holes with a cordless drill - didn't take long to drill quite a few holes.

Some people have seen it before - both of mine are in wooden frames on drawer pulls inside a stand that holds an older wooden cage on top, so is sort of a 1/2 rack. More than 3 high might be tough to manage unless you want to climb on a stool... but I like the two I have. The downside is (like with lots of tubs) that I have to open the top to actually SEE what the snake is doing.

(the flexwatt is under the floor of each tub, meant to mention that)
