My brother has a 20 high with a solid top that doesnt lock so he always stacks and stacks things ontop to "secure" the lid. I'd just like to see how strong snakes are.

My cages latch dont worry
my boa was about 7 feet long, about the thickness of a 1 litre pop bottle. i had the cage weighted down with 15-20 pound flat stones on all 4 sides. she did it so sly she didnt even knock over one of the stones off the lid. when snakes get that big they are Very strong :P

Re: Cat disaster:( scratches

My cat is fascinated with Dakota I have even found him on top of the viv that is when a squirt gun comes in handy. He will remember that day for a while.

Re: Cat disaster:( scratches

my feret likes to sit infront of my retics cage and watch her alot. its funny that my snake pays no attension to him, but if im standing in the kitchen thawing out rats, just the smell will get her out and searching for food. so its clear she does not see him as a food source, but i bet she would eat him if she was not in the cage lol

Re: Cat disaster:( scratches

Our cats love the top of the vivs, lovely and warm for them!! I leave them to it to be honest, dont see that they are doing any harm whilst the vivs are all locked up. They are put outside whenever a snske is coming out for a cuddle or being fed tho, not worth that risk.

Re: Cat disaster:( scratches

I should say that all my vivs are solid wooden ones with sliding glass doors on the front. Having ancat sleeping on top,of them presents no danger to the snake or the cat.
