Re: New cage
1. Yes, I'd lower them a bit.
2. I think so... unless they are really huge garters.
3. Yes.
4. I have some live plants... I just replace the soil with plain soil with no fertilizers in it. I don't know if there are dangerous plants to snakes??

Re: New cage
AWESOME cage and top Shanley!!!! Very nice!!!! Can you remove that light and simply set it on top, on the outside, on one of the screens?

Re: New cage
It's very nice Shanley! You and grandpa did a great job on that lid! I love your giraffe print, too. I have one with a mommy with two babies(one just slightly larger than the other)... don't know if that would actually happen in the real world, but I have two kids, so it works for me
TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

Re: New cage
What did you do here? Is that like a floating platform, which also provides shade/cover for the water? Is it a picture frame?
