I think you should re-think the design of this cage. A top opening cage is going to be a real pain when it comes having to take the snake out. Additionally, it will be difficult to shield the snake when you are coming from the top. I'm not sure how you are going to secure a plexi top - it just sounds a bit flimsy for a snake with the strenght of a gaboon.

>>It actually opens from the top. Essentially a plexiglass lid.
