Yet another project

[Stefan-A]

I wonder whether those high frequency sound emitters that are supposed to keep cats off the kitchen counter would work on snakes

Not likely.

Got to be glass Stefan.... Altogether better looking. You can still divide a viv, if the doors are sliders.

[Stefan-A]

Yeah, but then you'll have one baby-proof side and one that's not. Besides, I still like swinging doors more. Fortunately, I have another couple of weeks to decide.

[Stefan-A]

First of the two nearing completion. It's scheduled to enter service next weekend. Going to use a sealing strip to close the gap between the doors, after all.

[adamanteus]

Looking really good Stefan.

[Stefan-A]

Thanks. About that dividing wall, is there any reason why you couldn't use glass? I mean, there would be two different genera (Thamnophis & Pantherophis) living side by side, divided only by a transparent wall. My spidey sense tells me it's not a good idea (stress), but what do you think?

[adamanteus]

I may be wrong Stefan, but I would have though that so long as one of the genera isn't Lampropeltis there would be no real problem.

[Stefan-A]

Yeah, I think it was the Rossman et al. book that said that the kingsnake smell caused garters to flee. But apart from Lampropeltis, there shouldn't be a problem?

Aren't Pantherophis pretty closely related to Lampropeltis, by the way?

[Stefan-A]

Almost finished. The only thing missing is the friction reduction strip from the lower track. And the sealing strip.

[Snaky]

Personally I wouldn't do it, 2 totally different species can always get stressed from each other. But you can always see how it goes for a few weeks and react on it.

The eclosure looks very good
