For the most part, no. I arranged my cages based on ease of working with the animals. These are all arboreal vipers and tend to ride hooks quite well. I have a step stool and a portable working station bench that I move next to the cage to bring myself and the holding container, hooks, etc into an easy working height. My terrestrial venomous (cobra, rattler, coppperheads) are all kept at low chest height, because they are much harder to handle on a hook and I find that height to be the easiest for working with them. The arboreals tend to handle much more easily so I can deal with them being on several levels. I'm also quite tall (5'8.5") so even the highest cage on the shelving is not at a very awkward height for me. Hope that answers the questions!
