The homemade thingy with the drop down doors needs work. Looks fantastic but functionally?.... needs work.

haha, tell me something I DON'T know! It was built by a person who knew nothing about snakes, when I was like, 16 yeaars old. Functionally, the cages are FINE except for the doors. That's the only thing about them. It functions very well with holding heat, and concealing light fixtures, and it's easy to clean, but the doors have to go. When we move out I do plan to strip the doors off those cages and put sliding ones or side openers on. probably side openers because they're easier to make and will be infinitely cheaper. We will model them exactly after the frame built for Ra's cage, so they will be escape proof. My biggest complaint about my snakeroom is those doors. (poor me, complaining at all with a setup like that, right?) And also the fact that the snakeroom doors are not sealed off from the rest of the house... oh, and that it's carpeted...

I did add substrate guards to those cages to stop substrate from falling out the bottom of the doors and it worked SO well. There are also safety latches on the sides of the doors to prevent accidental unlockings. The snakes that live in those cages NOW are all larger, not-garters. So really, I don't need to do a whole lot of messing around in there as if I wound with garters.

When we move out, and I have a chance to set things up for MYSELF, I will do things very differenty. The new snakeroom will have solid, smooth, easy to clean floors, doors that are sealed the same way the doors going to the outside of a house are, and preferrably, a wash basin.
