>>We are thinking of getting another snake, a boytoy for Belle. I'm in early discussions with the people over at Bluerosy Worldwide, Inc. and Belle is in the middle of reviewing hundreds of online profiles. Tedious, at best, they all sound the same. "I enjoy long, s-shaped walks on the beach, sips of water after warm thawed mice, and curling up under a good book. This picture was taken when I was a hatchling, but I look pretty much the same (a little heavier now)."

>>My question involves furniture. We want to be able to see all our animals, but we're running out of room. We can't stack things too low because we have dogs. But we have right now two 20-longs that take up a long, narrow table. If I could find something that stacked three 20-longs without the lowest one being within dog range, that would be a help. Has anyone come across such a shelf system that looks good enough to have in a living room (not metal shelving for garages put together with thumbscrews).

>>Thanks. Post pictures of your setups if you can...
I used adjustable shelving units (Oak book cases) I ordered from a store called Wood Works. I ordered them at 14 in. deep instead of the normal 12 ". They cost about 120.00 each. One was a 3 ft. and one was the 5 ft. tall By 3 ft. wide. I built a hidden compartment In the upper right hand unit, from extra shelving boards. Very simple just an extra 6" shelf and I used Magnetic cabinet latches to hold the door on( removable door ). I drilled 1-1/4 holes (easy to push plugs through ) from one cabinet to another, at shelf elevation (in hidden compartment) and also vertical In the Corners of the shelves to run wiring. each tank has a bottom Heater and light. I used three 6 way power outlets in the units, One for the lights, One for the heaters, and one in the hidden compartment for light timers for the heaters. I can turn on all 6 lights at once with the power strip switch located on one side of a tank. My heaters work off one light timer switch which is in the hidden compartment along with any extra cords.
