Finally got all my cages!

[albertagirl]

I finally got all of my snakes into their adult size cages... I hope. I'm hoping nobody outgrows theirs! The larger cages here are 3'x2'x14", and the smaller ones are 2'x2'x14". The corns are in the larger cages, except the bottom right one which is currently empty, and the king and housie are in the smaller two. My hog is in a 5 gallon at the moment, and will be for a while yet.
I am still waiting on the rest of my white thermostats, so please excuse the yellow ones, and the cords going everywhere.
I'll also probably try to take some pictures tonight when it's dark out, with all the cage lights on. It looks quite nice. But I'm too excited about finally having them all set up and no more baby cages! So I just had to post this. Hope you like them!

And a quick shot, mid setup. This was taken to prove that these cages do not, in fact, take up the entire room... yet! Hahaha

Very nice setup! Very neat and professional looking. Did you add lighting to them and if so, shat kind did you chooses?

Thanks! I used these little stick-on LED lights. They are push-on/push-off, so I don't know if I'd use them in a dark room with a nippy snake since you have to reach into the cage to turn them on. But they are very bright and work well for my purposes.

Very nice! Are they from Jason @ Herphouses?

Ah! He does some excellent work as well.

And local. No shipping expenses! I've been really happy with them, I've had absolutely no issues so far, except the heating issues I'm having just since adding the new cages, but I don't think those issues are related to the cages so much as maybe the heat tapes I'm using, or possibly the thermostats. But I think I might start a new thread on that to see how others have solved it. I've just been trying to find old threads about it, but no luck so far.

Hey, the enclosures look amazing. Good choice with those. I like the stacking effect it's really very eye catching. Grats.

[EL Ziggy]

Very nice setup AG.

[albertagirl]

Thanks everyone! I love them! Only problem is, one 3x2 is still empty, and there's room for one more 2x2 on top. Way to encourage an addict to need a couple more snakes, eh? Haha.

[Andy_G]

A pine snake would fit that 3x2 pretty nicely...just sayin'...

Right!!? :yes:
And if one of my corn snakes maxes out at 4' (which I think is a good possiblity) they can move to the last 2x2 spot, and my black milk can have the other 3x2, and then I'm set! Then just a nice big display cage (or two) for my carpet (or two), and then I think I'm done. That's the plan anyway. :rolleyes:

I say "my" black milk because I finally found a breeder who's expecting a clutch this year! Who just happens to also have several morphs/subspecies of pines. Just sayin...
Oh, and did I mention that I won $125 of frozen mice in the raffle at the reptile show I went to this weekend? It's shaping up to be a very good year!!

[Andy_G]

Mind PMing me that person's name? I kept black milks a long time ago and would love to reacquire in the not so distant future.

[mysticmoon]

Nice set up! I hope to have something like this one day, for now I have tanks scattered everywhere lol.

[Albert Clark]

Congrats on the win! That really will help out.

[sattva]

I have three snakes and three tanks... I would love to have a setup like that but for some bigger snakes... My wife will kill me if I spend another penny on snakes right now... shhhhhhh Don't tell her that there going to out grow there tanks... :rolleyes:
I have been following a local cage builder on craigslist... I will probably approach him when the time comes...:wacky:

I was checking yours out as well. Truly, though, are we ever really finished? I mean I was only going to get the 4. Then 8. Now I'm planning my next stack already, but I keep telling myself that's it. Any more than 12 I think might become a chore to keep up with the cleaning and feeding. At 8 it's still fun, easy, and quick.

I finally got mine all set up with lights and proper thermometers, etc. I have pictures, I just need to upload them from my phone and then I'll post them here.

SIDENOTE: I found a breeder with leucistic southern pine snakes!!! :D
He also has black pines, but I am really partial to the white ones.
