Could this work??
Hello all, this is my first post. I've come across an interesting opportunity. I work at a sunglass retailer and, long story short, I might be able to get my hands on one of these bad boys for free:
Now the measurements are as follows: 48" tall (this is just the glass portion. The entire thing is about 6'3 or so), 28" wide, and 20" deep (front-to-back). And yes, it has glass everywhere it needs to. No gaps, though it might appear that way in the pics. Obviously, the current contents of this case or would-be snake enclosure will be gone, including the glass levels. I am interested in acquiring an arboreal snake in the coming months, and I think this case could potentially work as an excellent enclosure. I have a couple questions:
1. Will a high humidity setup ruin the wood or cause mold? And if so, is there a way around this?
2. What species would work best in this setup? I am aware that ATB's (and I think GTP's as well) prefer horizontal climbing space as opposed to vertical climbing space, but would the additional vertical space pose a problem? The case has pegs every couple inches on all of the wooden support beams in order to place the glass levels for display use. I figure I can makeshift some sort of mesh/wire in the right shape and set it on some pegs in order to create a lower ceiling, if necessary. Either that or I can place an additional water source halfway up the cage for the snake to easily access.
I really appreciate the feedback. -Anderson
