It's been laid on it's side and has a screen sliding door in front. The heat tape on the back wall was from when I first set it up--I don't use it now (sticky backing)and have a human heating pad under the tank.

This set-up is for a young ball python.

thanks for looking.

Nice setup, been searching for human heating pads for awhile. Where did you get yours and how much?

weather1--the plant is a pothos, you can find them everywhere. they are extremely hardy and grow very fast.

asian jon--i got the heating pad at k-mart for like 18 bucks. works great! make sure you don't get the kind that turns off automatically after it's been on for awhile.

thanks!

thanks joey, I think K-mart does not exist in London, but i got lucky today and found some for sale in the Canadian Tire flyer for $14...lets hope it is not the kind that turns off automatically.

I use the towel to drape over part of the screen to help keep humidity in and to make her feel a bit more secure.

thanks for looking..

Did you buy the sliding screen front, or make it?

God job mate!

The only thing is, if I was going to go through so much trouble to make a clear cage a non-clear cage, I would have just started with a non-clear cage, LOL!

But kudos to you for doing your homework.

I sometimes tape black construction paper to the glass on the outside. Still either than building any day. There is a pic in my gallery of three tanks stacked. The pic also shows how I secure them.
Cheers,
Trevor

Thanks Jeff!

The nice thing about this set-up is that I can see her directly through the screen and of course when I take off the towel.

Somehow I feel blessed to have your approval! lol

The screen is built in and slides downward to close---there's a latch at the bottom of it to make it even more secure.

LOL! As long as the snake in question thrives and grows and does what its meant to do, you are doing great in my opinion! :D

Cheers.
