Nice work!

If I may make a suggestion; IMO-It is a good idea to remove the upc codes off the hides, the humidity loosens the glue and when the snake slithers over the hide he may slide the label off and get the glue on him/her.

I actually make my own hides - I believe they like to have there backs tight against the top...see my gallery for an example. NOTE I also fill some up with moss.

I use a flat bottom tupperwear water bowl large enough for the snake to submerge in, the flat bottom will not tip over when your snake climbs in.

Cheers
Brian

Yes you are right about the upc codes and i took them off.

These hides i use seem to work fine as that is all i ever use and they always use them.

And the water bowl is just in there for the time being, i just threw the cage together quick for now.

Thanx for the tips though.

and your quite welcome, Regards

Nice construction though some cage decoration would be a nice touch.

two of the nice things about fake plants is they give extra hides and look nice.
