Just wondering what other people thought on the matter. Do you guys think that this would work for a single adult male Jungle Carpet Python? There would be a large (multi-branched) structure inside for climbing and basking that would also supply several hiding areas(for a sense of security). Let me know what you think!

For one, that's overkill on the height. Jungles are slightly arboreal, but not so much that they need a cage that sacrifices floor space for height.

For two, Between the height and the screen, you'll never keep the humidity (which is only an issue during a shed cycle) or the ambient temps correct.

Take a look at Herpcages.com or Animal Plastics cages.

In the wild, and if given the chance in captivity, JCP's will climb everywhere. They can live happily in a terrestrial cage, but if you give them a branch as adults they will normally sit out so you can look at them.

Being screen, it will not hold the adequate humidity for a JCP to shed successfully. I house mine in custom built cages, which are easily made.

Normally I use particleboard covered on the inside with plastic laminate, a plexiglas frame door, and a pegboard back. The best way to heat it is putting a light fixture in the top and using a high watt bulb or a ceramic heater.

Hope that helps
