The following came from a post a little below this one, but now it isn't buried under a bunch of other threads:
"Originally I was planning a cage with a big shelf on top, and another on bottom, and a small 'hide' shelf between. But then I realized that that design made no sense whatsoever. Now I've built this one, and it seems like a good thing for an arboreal snake. That is, once I've got it fully furnished.
"So! I guess now I have another question, which might be better suited in a whole new thread, but I guess for convenience I'll put it here too: What kind of arboreal snake is the easiest to take care of? And what heating option is good for arboreals? And as an aside, what kind of varnish do you recommend using?"
As you can see, I've made the "whole new thread", of course...
I've also realized that arboreals are probably very hard to work with. I've heard they're very temperamental, and only feed when the conditions are exactly right, and other stories that make me loath to try raising them....
So I'm just wondering: Should I try to get more of a landlubber type of snake for a beginner attempt? And if so, how do you suppose I ought to modify my cage to suit that demand? I could take the bottom shelf out, but my wood supplies are limited.
Thanks,
Nathanael
