Cool snake!

Really the wrong cage shape for a milksnake though. Those are Green Tree or Emerald cages.

And please get that TAPE OUT OF THE CAGE. Its pretty much rule #1 that there shouldn't be any tape in a snake cage. Tape is bad.

Its a disaster waiting to happen.

[bighillreptiles]

ha Jeff the tape is there to hold down the heat pads until i get the slate cut to go over top of the heat pads it is the same tape thay use for the heat ducts in your house and have been using it for years now without a prob ,Thanks for the concern Paul

Yep, I can agree with that and so can my IJ from about 2 years ago when he got stuck to some duct tape and it took me 3 hours to get it off. Tape of any kind = bad idea in a snake cage.

Paul, as a person with experience in the matter, take out the tape, man. Trust me. Especially if it's tape that sticks REALLY well... that's even worse. It's a pretty sick feeling when you see a snake stuck to tape and know that it's your fault. It happened to me (the snakes more so) about 13 years ago with some baby Garters and I STILL kick myself for it. They survived but it was a brutal experience for both of us, I'm sure. :(

Good luck with the hondos. Is that big boy getting any action this spring? ;)

[MarcB]

Paul, listen to everyone here man! That tape is a big problem waiting to happen and hondos have a nack for getting their noses were it don't belong.....

Nice cages..

[bighillreptiles]

The slate has been cut and will be deliverd tomorow morning to go over the heat pads. I use heat pads and the tape to make sure that the pads stays in place,Thanks for all the concerns. And to Mary the male is the father to your babys . Paul
