I got the first set of Visions up and they are working out nicely. I have some of the toads, tortoises and all the kings setup so far. More to come.....

Nice, but a couple of things I am sure you already know.

One, with stackable vision cages, the heat from the bottom one, heats the next one up, etc. Which is fine as long as its cool or cold in the room. But if that changes, the top cages are going to get real real hot.

Also, the brick under the lites is for what purpose???? a heat sink? That is not so good for snakes, great for heat loving lizards. A flat board(retes boards) or two works really well for snakes. They perfer dark heat to lite heat. And they like to only heat part of the body. Which works like AC in nature, they can keep most of their bodies cool and have the part needed under the heat.

I am going to set up a vision cage today, and I have work to do, as those things are pretty much not designed for anything specific, instead a lot of things in general. Of course, Scott is a good friend of mine and did a great job with that company. Cheers

Yeah, I just put the stones for looks and shed aids, I'm building the the stacks next week. I don't like them for the toads, the Waterlandtubs tortoise tub works way better for their needs. I keep that room very cool and I'm going to separate the cages from each other once I get some time( I have to babies right now). I have used visions for years and think they work better for someone like me that doesn't just keep one kind of thing.

I have seen the kings curled around the stones in the daytime and coiled on them at night. The stacks do work better, I just want to make them look good.
