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.

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?
